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

Thanks for any help you can give me.
