Bug#249447: Similar Issue

["Derek Neighbors" <derek@gnue.org>]

This maybe related... Maybe not.  I am not an X expert.  However the
problem seems familiar.

I am running Debian Unstable.  My current xserver-xfree86 package is as
follows:

iU  xserver-xfree8 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1 the XFree86 X server

However when I try to upgrade it fails with the following message:

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be upgraded:
  xserver-xfree86
1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 94 not upgraded.

Let me know if there is more information I can provide.
