Bug#372839: problem with x11-common
Package: x11-common
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11
Hi,
I just tried to do an apt-get dist-upgrade. When it came to upgrading
x11-common I got the message that /usr/X11R6/bin is not empty and that I
should empty it and run the installation again. So I did and got the
following error message:
Preparing to replace x11-common 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 (using
.../x11-common_1%3a7.0.20_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement x11-common ...
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_1%3a7.0.20_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/bin', which is also in package grace
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_1%3a7.0.20_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I then ran dpkg --configure -a, followed by apt-get -f install
This time the error message was:

dpkg: error while cleaning up:
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_1%3a7.0.20_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I tried creating the /usr/include/X11 as a proper directory, but runnig
apt-get -f install only deleted it. Then I found out that the symlink
should be pointing to /usr/X11R6/include/X11, but creating that manually
just got deleted again.
Here is my /etc/apt/sources.list:

My current kernel version:
uname -a
Linux potato 2.6.12.1 #3 Wed Nov 9 22:52:40 EST 2005 i686 GNU/Linux
libc-6: Version: 2.3.6-13
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
