Bug#366582: xutils: apt install fails with broken package

[matt glaves <stugs@stugs.com>]

Package: xutils
Severity: important

When I attempt to install xutils I get the following error.  I manually 
installed x11-common (7.0.17) and libfs6 (1.0.0-3) to try to get around
the issue and it had no effect.

here is the output:

web:/usr# apt-get install xutils
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
  xutils: Depends: x11-common (>= 6.8.1) but it is not going to be installed
          Depends: libfs6 but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
