Bug#457980: packaging problem in xserver-s3v, x11-common (multiple packages want same directory /usr/X11R6/bin)
Package: xserver-s3v
Version: 3.3.6-44
Severity: normal
I tried doing an apt-get update and apt-get install -f as some of the
packages were complaining while upgrading ... dcraw I guess.
-- Part of output of apt-get install -f
