I got the same thing:
Preparing to replace xlibs-data 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 (using .../xlibs-data_6.9=
.0.dfsg.1-1_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement xlibs-data ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/xlibs-data_6.9.0.dfsg.1-1_=
all.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/ar', which is also in package =
xlibs
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Preparing to replace xlibs 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 (using .../xlibs_6.9.0.dfsg.1-=
1_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement xlibs ...
Preparing to replace xlibs-pic 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 (using .../xlibs-pic_6.9.0=
.dfsg.1-1_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement xlibs-pic ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/xlibs-data_6.9.0.dfsg.1-1_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

xlibs should get removed, so I think it should be a Conflicts.
