Bug#235687: new versions of libx11-6 and libxt6 will not install (4.3.0-3)

["James D. Freels" <freelsjd@ornl.gov>]

Package: libx11-6, libxt6
Version: 4.3.0-3

Both packages will not install which causes ALL of the new X11 packages
to not install. Here is the error messages:

I have no work around except to not upgrade.
