apt-get failing


I am using debian and I am doing an upgrade apt-get upgrade and I get this error when it tries to upgrade

(Reading database ... 147249 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking libxcursor-dev (from .../libxcursor-dev_1.0.2-2_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libxcursor-dev_1.0.2-2_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xcursor/Xcursor.h', which is also in package xlibs-dev
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libxcursor-dev_1.0.2-2_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I tried doing an apt-get install -f and that doesnt work, any ideas?

This would be better put in the debian forum. But all I can think of is try to get rid of the libxcursor-dev package and see if all goes well then.
