Help!

(Reading database ... 107227 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace nvidia-glx 1.0.7667-0ubuntu25.1 (using 
.../nvidia-glx_1.0.8178+2.6.15.4-4_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement nvidia-glx ...
dpkg: error processing 
/var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-glx_1.0.8178+2.6.15.4-4_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/nvidia-settings', which is also in 
package nvidia-settings
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-glx_1.0.8178+2.6.15.4-4_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


I get this on a dist-upgrade to dapper.  Odd thing is that 
/usr/bin/nvidia-settings does not exist!  I am also unable to remove 
either nvidia-glx, or nvidia-settings with the following error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libfontenc1: Depends: x11-common (>= 7.0.0-0ubuntu3) but it is not 
installed
  libxfont1: Depends: x11-common (>= 7.0.0-0ubuntu3) but it is not installed
  xserver-xorg-core: Depends: x11-common but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
