I've not seen this type of problem before, however it seems that the pre-install script (/var/lib/dpjg/info/libxrender1.preinst) is failing because it is trying to divert (man 8 dpkg-divert) a file to a location that is already used. You seem to have two versions of libxrender installed (version 1 and 1.1). Perhaps you should remove one of them. Nick. -- Debian testing/unstable Linux twofish 2.6.0-test3-looxt93c3 i686 GNU/Linux
