This is the actual output of dpkg with half of the Russian letters
destroyed by screendump:

 vim-doc

Which corresponds to
"trying to overwrite `/usr/share/doc/vim', which is also in package vim-doc".

This came in the middle of xfree86->xorg upgrade and was solved
by removing vim and installing it later.

Dpkg was trying to unpack vim with its /usr/share/doc/vim symlink before
vim-doc, while /usr/share/doc/vim was registered as a directory belonging
to vim-doc (also it was rm -rf'ed by vim.preinst).

Dpkg was already upgraded to the etch version, aptitude was not.
