To use an older version of libX11, I would suggest to unpack it in
a different place, and use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment veriable
to point your executables to that place. That way, you don't have
to fight the package system.

For example:

dpkg-deb -x ~//libx11-6_1.1.1-1ubuntu4_amd64.deb /usr/local/foo/libx11-6-6_1.1.1-1ubuntu4_amd64
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/foo/libx11-6-6_1.1.1-1ubuntu4_amd64/usr/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
