Try removing wordnet, and then try again.
apt-get remove --purge wordnet
You can try reinstalling wordnet after you are done with everything
else.
Hmm. I don't have this installed, and packages.debian.org does not
show /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults as one of the files included in
wordnet.
In any case, try that and if you have further problems, get back to
the list. You can cc me if you wish.
Faheem.
