Dependency Problems



I'm running testing, and when I do a "apt-get -u dist-upgrade" I get:

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libx11-dev: Depends: libx11-6 (= 6.8.2.dfsg.1-6) but 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14
  is installed
  libxt-dev: Depends: libxt6 (= 6.8.2.dfsg.1-6) but 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 is
  installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

Running "apt-get -f install" gives me:

bnp@beorn:~$ sudo apt-get -f install

The following extra packages will be installed:

I upgraded to the new glibc (2.3.5-6) just before this happened, so I
suspect that has something to do with it. MySQL is also refusing to
start, though I suspect if I get this problem fixed that one will take
care of itself.

Any ideas? Debian hasn't done this to me in a while, so I'm a little
rusty.

Thanks,
