The very large not upgraded count suggests you're doing something
which may be detrimental to the health of your packaging system. If
the X packaging in Libranet is anything like what was done in
Debian, xlibs was split into many smaller packages, which I suggest
you install at the same time to avoid the overwriting. If you don't
want to do that, I'd suggest you rebuild the package that has the
libxv1 dependancy, or run dpkg -i --force-overwrite. I *strongly*
suggest you go with the former option, however.
Cheers,
