I think this may be another case of the two xlib6g 3.3.2.3a-7 packages causing problems. The basic story (as I understand it) is that there was a broken xlib6g 3.3.2.3a-7 that got released accidentally - although it was very soon replaced with a working one, some people got bitten by the bad one. At least, I think that's what happened. I've also heard things to the effect that the problem is caused by a bad pre- or post-rm script in the -6 xlib6g. In any case, go get xlib6g_3.3.2.3a-7.deb again from your local mirror, make certain that it has md5sum 276d3782f9be91508241592902146e49. Reinstall it and this error should clear up.
