Hi All...

I ran into a circular dependency with X as well. I temporarily installed 
something that wanted it and then later removed the original package. I 
tried a couple of times to remove X and gave up. (It doesn't take that much 
disk to worry about and I'll take care of it on my next clean install.)

HTH,

...Karl
