xlib6 used to provide it.  It should have been fazed out a long time ago.
The latest xlib6 removed the provides, any package that depends on it is
broken.  I filed a list of bugs when the latest xlib6 hit incoming, you
might want to check and file bugs against the packages I missed (I only
filed against packages on my system).  You should be able to force dselect
to leave them installed, a 'Q' when the conflict screen comes up (after
making sure they're still selected as installed) should do it.
