I ran into this, perhaps a week ago. If you do 'apt-get remove
libxft-dev' (there's about 2 or 3 packages in total this'll require you
to remove), then do your 'apt-get dist-upgrade', then reinstall
libxft-dev (and whatever other packages you had to remove), everything
will work fine (or at least appears to on my system).
