This started off as a bug report of a missing xlibs dummy package which made it hard or impossible to install a lot of extra packages from sourceforge and newver versions of packages. However I found a xlibs dummy package deb posted on the forum.

Description (edit)
Binary package hint: xlibs
Hi I noticed that xlibs-deb has a dummy transitional package but there is not one for xlibs. From the amount of xlib arrors happening it seems that a xlibs dummy package was over looked for dapper. Please look into this.
also when trying to download xlibs I get this error
tom@miko:~$ sudo apt-get install xlibs
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package xlibs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
libxft1 xkeyboard-config
E: Package xlibs has no installation candidate

No Ubuntu application depends on this package so it's not needed. 3rd
party software should be fixed by those 3rd parties.

* xlibs dummy package.

Please backport or include into repositories as it may solve a lot of problems people are having with external installs.

Ubuntu 5.10 shipped with an 'xlibs' package, which depended on the standard set of X libraries. This package was apparently dropped during the package restructuring in 6.06 LTS, and should be restored in 6.10. |

This has been discussed to death in other bugs. xlibs is a dead package. Packages that still depends on it must be fixed. |

Regardless of package dependencies, it's useful to have a way to install this set of libraries in one shot. |
