Using Synaptic's "Apply", the result is:

trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/bin', which is also in package xli


So, the problem is with /usr/X11R6/bin, but how to fix it?

(Since there seems to be a conflict with the xli package, I looked at
removing it, but it would remove ubuntu-desktop, all xserver packages
and a more, so that's not an option.)


I would try

dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_1%
3a7.1.1ubuntu6.2_i386.deb

This will install x11-common by overwriting the /usr/X11R6/bin directory
