This should not be possible.  Your reportbug template claims that you have
x11-common 1:7.0.12 installed, but this package provides both /usr/bin/X,
and /usr/X11R6/bin as a symlink to /usr/bin.

Please provide the output of these commands:

$ ls -ld /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/X11R6/bin/X /usr/bin/X
$ dpkg -l x11-common

This is a separate bug that I believe is being worked on.
