trouble upgrading libxft-dev



libxft-dev has been the source of broken dependencies for two or three weeks now. I run testing on PowerPC.

I can't get any software to install because apt-get always gives up trying to install libxft-dev. I tried just removing it but then apt wants to uninstall a bunch of stuff.

Here's the error I get:

apt-get install libxft-dev

Preparing to replace libxft-dev 2.1.2-5 (using .../libxft-dev_2.1.2-6_powerpc.deb) ... diversion of /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h to /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft/Xft1.h by libxft-dev Removing `diversion of /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h to /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft/Xft1.h by libxft-dev' dpkg-divert: rename involves overwriting `/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h' with different file `/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft/Xft1.h', not allowed dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libxft-dev_2.1.2-6_powerpc.deb (--unpack):

Thanks for any help you can give me.
