This is because of a bug in the xodo package; it puts files in
/usr/lib/X11. I have reported this bug; it's very similar to the
problem we had a while ago with the xosview package.

Pre-dependencies are not the answer. The answer is for packages not to
have bugs like this...
To recover your installation I think you will probably have to purge
your X packages again and re-install, leaving out xodo for the moment.
