This should be a critical bug. Debian would call it an RC bug and not
release until it's fixed, but Kubuntu has ignored it for 9 months and is
about to release? :(
I know Kubuntu is understaffed compared to Ubuntu (a shame that the paid
employees are all paid to work on Ubuntu)--all I ask is
Maverick is now halfway through its cycle of being the latest Kubuntu...
and this bug is still stopping us from upgrading production machines
(for which unofficial workarounds that require removal of core packages
are simply not an option). For months I've been trying to ignore people
imploring us
David E's workaround worked for me. Updating Mytrhbuntu 9.10 to 10.10.

It's now December. Is there any kind of estimate of when this is likely
to be fixed? Surely there must be many people who never come here, and
others like me who apply only official changes to their system, who are
precluded from upgrading to lucid by this bug.

I'm upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 of Mythbuntu and encountering the same
error. The following workaround did it for me (based on the suggestions
above):
dpkg --force-depends --remove x11-xkb-utils // this may or may not be
necessary
wget
Manually updating x11-common to x11-common_7.5+6ubuntu3_all.deb prior to
the upgrade, as suggested by mafrasi2, resolved the problem for me.
Uninstalling x11-common seems to be a risky workaround. That's the X11
core. I would think it would bork dependency calculations for the
upgrade pretty bad
Works for me !!!
bsudo apt-get remove x11-xkb-utils x11-common/b
bsudo apt-get -f install/b
Muito Obrigado !!!

Reply to #19:
Sorry, I thought I would be automatically notified of any new comments
(like kde-bugs) but it seems that commentators are not automatically
subscribed here, so I only just saw your request.
I just tried to upgrade again, and (of course) still hit the same bug.

I'm adding a task for kubuntu-meta because the problem exists only for
kubuntu upgrades and setting it to 'high'. I keep the u-m task open
because it is an upgrade issue but importance to 'low' because it is not
a problem with update-manager.

@N7DR, if you having this issue without packages from Kubuntu PPA
enabled, could you attach the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade and the
file /var/lib/dpkg/status, that would help us to narrow down the
problem. Thanks.

Jean,
I just want to let you know that by removing both x11-xkb-utils
x11-common as suggested in one of the posts, the installation went smoothly
and had no other problems.
Thanks for the reply.

I see that this is marked as Low importance. I can't imagine why.
After four hours of downloading files to go from lucid to maverick
today, following the official upgrade path as described at
www.kubuntu.org, everything ground to a halt with this error.
The lucid system, as recommended, was
Thanks a lot, James.
I had to install x11-commons via

x11-common_7.5+6ubuntu3_all.deb and all is well.

I was able to upgrade from Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 64 bit finally.
But it is even worse. gdm (X) doesn't start. I have an Intel graphics driver
and a LG E2350V HD monitor.
In the X.0.Log file I see : Screens found, but none have a usable configuration.

Thanks Alan James,
The workaround didn't work for me either so after doing that (but without
reinstalling x11-xkb-utils) I installed x11-commons and upgrade is now in
progress.

After investigation, I think that some package coming from the kubuntu-ppa or
kubuntu-ppa/backport is blocking the update but I haven't found which one yet.
I'm lowering the importance and closing the x11-xkb-utils task.
