Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.0.22
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

  I just try to update a (very) old machine. The upgrade fails due to
/usr/X11R6/bin not empty. To solve this, I had to run:
dpkg --purge xephem communicator-smotif-477 netscape-base-4 \
netscape-base-477 communicator-base-477 communicator

I know these are very old packages not present in the distribution since
a long time (at least for communicator/netscape packages). However,
nothing prevent them to be kept on the computer. And having a major
upgrade interrupted is often a real pain. So, it can be usefull to add
conflicts against old Debian package. For my situation, a conflict
against xephem and netscape-base-4 would have been working.

  Best regards,
    Vincent

Closing since we have a conflict with communicator-smotif-477 and
navigator-smotif-477 since 1:7.1.0-18 and I don't see anything in
/usr/X11R6/bin/ in the other packages (communicator, navigator-base-477
and netscape-base-477).

Cheers,
Brice
