Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2020-03-07 10:03:23 UTC
The ocaml-x11 package (ie. the Graphics module) was moved out of the compiler
in ocaml 4.09.  Ideally we would add it as a new package, but no one has
bothered, because TBH this module is very rarely used.  I would suggest
simply removing ocaml-x11.  If you actually need the Graphics module then
you will need to go through the package review process yourself.

Note that this package was not obsoleted because there could be a replacement
if someone does the work.

Thank you Richard.

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2020-03-07 15:37:17 UTC
I'm going to close this as there's nothing else to do unless you
want to add the package.
