Bug#415646: sarge > etch dist-upgrade fails, x11-common fails overwrite /usr/X11R6/bin
Package: x11-common
Severity: normal
While trying to do a dist-upgrade from sarge to etch, I got the
following:
Extracting templates from packages: 100%
Preconfiguring packages ...
(Reading database ... 83831 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking x11-common (from .../x11-common_1%3a7.1.0-15_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_1%3a7.1.0-15_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/bin', which is also in package
navigator-smotif-477
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_1%3a7.1.0-15_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
This repeats forever if I run apt-get -f install.
My non-X EMACS is broken.
