Uhhm, you're right. What I'd done was:
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude upgrade
and left it installing, unattended.
After hitting the problem, I downgraded everything and, after your email,
upgraded again. There was an error unpacking xlibs-data, but I couldn't
capture it: something to do with not being able to unpack a file because it
also belonged to package xlibs. Here's the weird thing:
grep xlibs-data /var/log/aptitude | tail -1
[UPGRADE] xlibs-data 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 -> 6.9.0.dfsg.1-1
dpkg -l xlibs-data
ii xlibs-data 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System client data
I guess the bug stands then.
