Bug Description

While dist-upgrading from hoary to breezy, I got the following:

Unpacking xrgb (from .../xrgb_0.99.0-1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/xrgb_0.99.0-1_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/etc/X11/rgb.txt', which is also in package xorg-common

xorg-common is still at 6.8.2-10; manually upgrading to xorg-common 6.8.2-54
first allows me to then install xrgb.

xorg-comm*o*n might be more effective ;-P

Yes.

As an interim measure, I've fixed the typo in xrgb.
