Bug#354146: x11-common: Cannot upgrade from sarge: file conflict with xfree86-common
Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.0.0
Severity: grave
After login in a sarge chroot, I installed tetex-bin (probably that can
be much minimized to only xfree86-common, but I don't have time for
testing) and then changed sources.list to point to sid.
After apt-get update, I get upon apt-get dist-upgrade (everything with
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive):
[...]
