Yesterday I thought that I was getting mad when I saw this error in my 
personal box.

I do not know what is going on with this package, but I could install 
it by:

dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/xserver-xorg_6.8.2.dfsg.1-8_i386.deb

I am sending a copy to Dpkg maintainers, because this seems an error in 
dpkg 
(or maybe in apt).

Best regards,


Ender.
