apt-get install leads to much trouble



Hello!

After doing "apt-get install kopete" I got a message saying that
libqt3-mt-dev depended on libxcursor-dev and I should try "apt-get
install -f" which I did and what resulted in trying to install
libxcursor-dev. Unfortunately this didn't work, printing out something
like:

Unpacking libxcursor-dev (from .../libxcursor-dev_1.0.2-4_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error while processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libxcursor-dev_1.0.2-4_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite »/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xcursor/Xcursor.h«, which is in package xlibs-dev as well
Errors occurred while processing of 
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libxcursor-dev_1.0.2-4_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

What I want now is *not* to get this, ahm, strange kopete working but
remove the changes it made.

Hope, that's not too difficult, is it?

Yours
Moritz
