Bug#350298: x11-common: trying to overwrite `/usr/include/X11', which is also in package libxft-dev

[Felix Kuehling <fxkuehl@gmx.de>]

Package: x11-common
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11
Severity: important

Upgrading Unstable from x11-common 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 to 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 I 
get this error message from dpkg:

Unpacking replacement x11-common ...
dpkg: error processing 
/var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_6.9.0.dfsg.1-4_all.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/include/X11', which is also in package 
libxft-dev
 System startup links for /etc/init.d/x11-common already exist.

 /var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_6.9.0.dfsg.1-4_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I have libxft-dev 2.1.8.2-2 installed, which is the current version in 
Unstable. I'm not sure which package is at fault, libxft-dev or 
x11-common. But since the x11-common upgrade fails I'm reporting the 
problem here for a start.

  Felix
