Hi John,
If I understand what you said:
you were running 'testing' and now you are running 'stable'? This would
be the case if you source.list refers to 'sarge'.

From my brain, X free v 4 include xfs-xtt and thus it is no longer
needed, IIUC!

I would examine /var/lib/dpkg/info/xfs?????.prerm (check spelling for
correct script) and either find the error and find a way to fix what the
script is bombing on OR (since I suggest removing xfs-xtt) putting
'exit 0' at the top of the script to disable it. And the then remove the
package.
cheers,
