Package: xcursor-themes
Followup-For: Bug #368942

I have hit the same problem:

[snip]
Selecting previously deselected package xcursor-themes.
Unpacking xcursor-themes (from .../xcursor-themes_1.0.1-4_all.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/xcursor-themes_1.0.1-4_all.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/etc/X11/cursors/core.theme', which is also in
package xlibs-data
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/xcursor-themes_1.0.1-4_all.deb
 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
 A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:

Shouldn't this be grave?

Unless I am mistaking, this problem only occurs when upgrading from Xorg
6.9 (intermediate testing/unstable state in early 2006) to modular Xorg
or so. Since Sarge has XFree86 4.3 and Etch has Xorg 7.1, upgrading from
6.9 is not going to be fixed anymore. Closing this bug.
