I got this error when I tried to upgrade my potato today:

---
Preparing to replace base-files 2.1.10 (using
.../base-files_2.1.11_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement base-files ...
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_2.1.11_all.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/etc/inputrc', which is also in package
libreadlineg2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_2.1.11_all.deb
E: Sub-process returned an error code (1)

I'm having probs with base-files too, but it hasn't broken my X.
