There are actually 2 bugs here:

1) libx11-data 2:1.4.1-3 is missing a "Breaks: ia32-libs (<= 20110117)"
2) ia32-libs needs to update to the new libx11-6.

Dear X team, please put a rush on that Breaks to prevent people fom
upgrading to an incompatible version combination.

PS: For a quick fix downgrade the libx11-data to stable.
