It appears xbase-clients conflicts with a package in xutils.

I apologize for the belated reply to this bug; your report should have been
sent to the debian-x mailing list by the Debian Bug Tracking System, but it
appears that did not happen.
We have seen this problem from a couple of other users; it is caused by
having a non-standard and/or post-woody version of xbase-clients installed.
Debian cannot support woody/non-woody hybrids of that nature.
There are three workarounds for this problem:
1) Downgrade xbase-clients to the woody version;
2) Upgrade xutils (and the rest of the xfree86 packages) to the same
version as xbase-clients;
3) Install xutils 4.1.0-16woody4 with the --force-overwrite option to dpkg.
Closing this bug as due to unsupported system configuration.
