When I experienced this problem on PowerPC while preparing 4.2.1-7, I
found that downgrading xserver-xfree86 to 4.2.1-6 but leaving everything
else at -7 worked, too.
I don't see why downgrading xlibs-{dev,pic} would help anything at all;
you should be able to re-upgrade those and not change the way your
system behaves in this regard.
Can you confirm these two hypotheses for me?
By the way, the reason this broke is because of GCC 3.3 (read the
package changelog). I was hoping they wouldn't get it wrong on i386,
but I guess I was mistaken.
