Just ran an apt-get -u upgrade and pulled the new X packages from testing. When It came time to upgrade xlibs, I got the following:
debian:/home/vanbalen# apt-get -u upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following packages will be upgraded xlibs 1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 18 packages not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B/1208kB of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] (Reading database ... 38534 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace xlibs 4.1.0-5 (using .../xlibs_4.1.0-6_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement xlibs ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/xlibs_4.1.0-6_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults', which is also in package xmcd Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/xlibs_4.1.0-6_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Running dpkg --purge xmcd fixed the problem and I'm not currently using xmcd so it's not a problem. However, if I ever want to use xmcd or if there's someone out there that uses xmcd... Will this be fixed when the xmcd package from unstable makes it into testing?
