I once had problems like this with a low-level display-related package.
Two packages turned out to contain the same file, and so only one could
remain. I thought it was a packageing problem (such packages should not
be in one repository, but it turned out that a previous upgrade (done a
year or more ago) hadn't completed properly, and so I still had (and was
presumably using) a package from multiple releases ago. I had to delete
it using dpkg. apt and aptitude kept failing because of the undeclared
conflict.
