But the glibc package doesn't overwrite anything that belongs to the
xserver-xorg package, and the xserver-xorg package contains no relevant

Please show your /var/log/apt/term.log from these upgrades, so we can see
what other packages were involved.

Also, why are you installing glibc from wily-proposed?
