Package: xlibs
Version: 4.2.1-5

I am unable to install xlibs because it is trying to overwrite the
X11/app-defaults directory.

I am running the unstable distribution, and my errors from apt-get are
as follows:

----begin error----
Preparing to replace xlibs 4.1.0-2 (using .../xlibs_4.2.1-5_i386.deb)
...
Unpacking replacement xlibs ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/xlibs_4.2.1-5_i386.deb
(--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults', which is also in
 package xterm
Errors were encountered while processing:
  /var/cache/apt/archives/xlibs_4.2.1-5_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
----end error----

It appears that xlibs is trying to overwrite a complete directory, which
contains files maintained by other packages.
