Severity: important
Thanks for maintaining Debian's xlibs package.
I use it.
When I tried to upgrade xlibs to version 4.2.1-5 with "apt-get install",
it reported
Unpacking replacement xlibs ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/xlibs_4.2.1-5_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults', which is also in package groff
[...]
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/xlibs_4.2.1-5_i386.deb
I'm using version 1.10-3 of groff.
The xosview package has the same conflict.
I seem to have worked around the problem with
$ dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/xlibs_4.2.1-5_i386.deb
Thanks,
Kingsley

You need to upgrade those packages (groff, xosview, and anything else
that ships the old app-defaults directory).
Upgrade anything in the list returned by:
$ dpkg -S usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults
to the version in Debian unstable (actually the versions in stable and
testing should be fine as well).
