> I just uploaded a patched base-files_3.1.1.0.0.1.pure64_amd64.deb > to alioth. yesterday evening I was trying to do a dist-upgrade but the base-files package won't install. it says it's going to try to overwrite /usr/X11R6/lib64 which is in xfree86-driver-synaptics package. it was previously giving me similar error due to nvu package. I tried removing it, but as you can see the problem just moved.
