Package: xlbiff Version: 4.1-3 Severity: normal
Hi, New X11 packages recently migrated to testing. When xlbiff is installed, the upgrade of x11-common fails with the following error: Preparing to replace x11-common 1:7.0.22 (using .../x11-common_1%3a7.1.0-5_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement x11-common ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_1%3a7.1.0-5_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/bin', which is also in package xlbiff System startup links for /etc/init.d/x11-common already exist. Setting up X server socket directory /tmp/.X11-unix.... Setting up ICE socket directory /tmp/.ICE-unix.... Setting up X server socket directory /tmp/.X11-unix.... Setting up ICE socket directory /tmp/.ICE-unix.... Setting up X server socket directory /tmp/.X11-unix.... Setting up ICE socket directory /tmp/.ICE-unix.... Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_1%3a7.1.0-5_i386.deb Removing xlbiff makes the upgrade work fine, and then xlbiff can be reinstalled with no problem. There are many similar problems reported on x11-common; see e.g. 370353. Many thanks for your work on this package! No other biff comes close.
