I've run into that several times myself doing daily dist-upgrades on my
work laptop. (Yes, unstable is bad on a production machine, but I need X4
for the LCD screen, and the potato X4 packages weren't available at the
time.) When apt dies like that, I copy and paste the file it was
complaining about into a command line like the following:
$ sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/xlibs_4.0.1-12_i386.deb
Then run apt-get -f install, and continue with the apt-get dist-upgrade.
It's worked well so far for me. :)
