Bug Description

Installed all packages from xorg-edgers except x11-apps which fails to install, giving this error:

     E: /var/cache/apt/archives/x11-apps_7.7~2ubuntu1~edgers1_amd64.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/transset', which is also in package transset 0.1.0+cvs.20041114-0ubuntu3

But there is no package called "transset 0.1.0+cvs.20041114-0ubuntu3" installed.

Is there a packaging problem in x11-apps?

This is the first time to install xorg-edgers so there is no previous version which worked.

yep x11-apps needs a conflicts/replace with transset and it'll need to be SRUed to quantal and uploaded to raring. I'll fix it up in debian. you can remove the transset package to work around it in the meantime.

Ok. Would be good if you could fix it for precise too. Thanks.
