Bug#374221: x11-common: /usr/X11R6/bin also in package xserver-common-v3
Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.0.22
Severity: important
Hi, I'm pasting a part of an IRC session:
<kpearce> with -f install, I get the x configuration screens, and then:
<kpearce> xserver-xorg config warning: Migrating xserver-xfree86 debconf values to
<kpearce> xserver-xorg.
<kpearce> (Reading database ... 141948 files and directories currently installed.)

<kpearce> trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/bin', which is also in package xserver-common-v3
<kpearce> Errors were encountered while processing:
<kpearce> /var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_1%3a7.0.22_i386.deb
<kpearce> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
... perhaps x11-common should conflict this old package.
Regards,
Zoran
