Subject: x11-common collides with libxft-dev (/usr/include/X11)

Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2006 05:40:51 +0100

Package: x11-common
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4
Severity: grave

x11-common is currently uninstallable resp. can't be upgraded to
6.9.0.dfsg.1-5 because it conflicts with libxft-dev. The error 
message is:

Unpacking replacement x11-common ...
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_6.9.0.dfsg.1-5_all.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/include/X11', which is also in package
 libxft-dev

Cheers,
Michael
