+_Description: Remove anyway, breaking "fixed" and your X server?
+ Removing xfonts-traditional would break your X server by removing "fixed".
+ .
+ You should not remove xfonts-traditional while "fixed" refers to one
+ of its fonts. You probably want to check the differences between the
+ various /etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base.alias*, reconcile any changes,
+ and then run "update-fonts-alias misc". After that you can retry the
+ removal.
