I believe I solved my own problem. I removed the following lines out of the /var/lib/dpkg/diversions file:
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/extensions/Xrender.h /usr/share/libxrender1.1/diversions/Xrender.h libxrender-dev /usr/X11R6/include/X11/extensions/extutil.h /usr/share/libxrender1.1/diversions/extutil.h libxrender-dev /usr/X11R6/include/X11/extensions/region.h /usr/share/libxrender1.1/diversions/region.h libxrender-dev libxrender-dev now installs without any errors.
