Seems like this is not the only thing missing.

nftables is still depending on libxtables11. if I try to apt remove
libxtables11 after running the dpkg command above, I get:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libxtables11 nftables

so the upgrade to libxtables12 would be breaking nftables with the
correct dependency to break libxtables11

2016-11-21 Thread Gabriel Filion 
Hello,

I've just exerienced the same during an upgrade of sid packages.

The only way to break out of this mess is to force the upgrade of the
package with:

dpkg --force-overwrite -i
/var/cache/apt/archives/libxtables12_1.6.0+snapshot20161117-2_amd64.deb

then it becomes possible to continue with the rest of the upgrade.

libxtables12 seems like it should have a "breaks: libxtables11", or
replaces: (I'm not sure if the latter is actually appropriate in this
situation)
