upgrading x11-common_7.0.22



Hi,
I was doing a weekly apt-get dist-upgrade of my testing/etch distro, and
apt requested the following packages to upgrade:

The following packages will be upgraded:
  apt apt-utils aptitude dpkg-dev dselect gnome-panel gspot kcontrol
kdebase-bin kdebase-data kicker libafterimage0 libafterstep1 libchm1
  libglu1-xorg libgnomeprint2.2-0 libgnomeprint2.2-data
libgnucrypto-java libgnutls12 libgstreamer0.10-0 libgtkhtml3.6-18
libkonq4
  libopenexr2c2a libpanel-applet2-0 libsdl-image1.2 libwine libxine1
libxml2-utils libxslt1.1 python-libxml2 python2.3-libxml2
  python2.4-libxml2 tasksel tasksel-data wine x-window-system
x-window-system-core x11-common xfonts-utils xfwm4-themes xlibmesa-dri
  xlibmesa-gl xlibmesa-gl-dev xlibmesa-glu xlibs-data xorg xserver-xorg
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics xsltproc yelp

all packages were downloaded and installed successfully except for
x11-common. A quick search in the list showed that i had to upgrade 
libxft-dev in for x11-common to install properly, however that didn't
work.

my error message is:
