what's the problem?

xfig is the designer for fig-files
transfig allows you to convert them to other formats

xfig has a frontend to transfig, but xfig does not depend on transfig for elementar functions ... if you want to convert something to some other files, you need transfig

the best we can do is a post-install info that explains this to you, but i'm not sure, if this is really needed
