Something besides X is broken. ld.so is the dynamic linker. ld.so
should be a symlink to ld.so.1.9.10. I can't imagine that the X
packages are trying to modify the ld.so.* files. I did not have any
problem with those X packages when I used them. Are other packages
being upgraded besides the X packages? Add the following to your
/etc/apt/apt.conf to make apt show what packages are going to be
upgraded:
APT::Get::Show-Upgraded "true";
