Package: x11-common Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 Severity: normal Hi!
When trying to upgrade from the currently installed version 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 of x11-common to 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6 I get the following problem: Preconfiguring packages ... (Reading database ... 213727 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace x11-common 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 (using .../x11-common_6.9.0.dfsg.1-6_all.deb) ... Document `debian-x-faq' is not installed, cannot remove. Unpacking replacement x11-common ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_6.9.0.dfsg.1-6_all.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/include/X11', which is also in package libxft-dev System startup links for /etc/init.d/x11-common already exist. Setting up X server socket directory /tmp/.X11-unix...done. Setting up ICE socket directory /tmp/.ICE-unix...done. Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_6.9.0.dfsg.1-6_all.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) I'm guessing that this was probably fixed in the next version, but I think that it's still important to document that the bug was there. I don't think there's a real way of fixing the bug. But the problem can be solved doing: dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_6.9.0.dfsg.1-6_all.deb :).
