I am running a debian woody mixing stable and testing and very random few
unstable packages with the 2.4.24 kernel.  I just did an apt-get -u
dist-upgrade and there was a couple upgrades none seemed very significant
but it bombed out at the end. Now it bombs out everytime i do an upgrade
and a couple things seem broken like my openoffice stopped working.  Seems
to be a conflict with the xlibmesa3 upgrade and my existing libGLU.so.1.3
package?

Here is the output:

It sounds like you have to force the install like (one line):

dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/xlibmesa3_4.1.0-16woody3_i386.deb
