Package: dpkg
Version: 1.14.26
Severity: normal

Here is the relevant strings from upgrade log:

-8<-
Preparing to replace x11-common 1:7.3+18 (using .../x11-common_1:7.4+1_all.deb) 
...
Unpacking replacement x11-common ...
Setting up x11-common (1:7.4+1) ...
dpkg: regarding .../x11-utils_7.4+1_amd64.deb containing x11-utils, 
pre-dependency problem:
 x11-utils pre-depends on x11-common (>= 1:7.0.0)
  x11-common is unpacked, but has never been configured.
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/x11-utils_7.4+1_amd64.deb 
(--unpack):
 pre-dependency problem - not installing x11-utils
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/x11-utils_7.4+1_amd64.deb
->8-

As you see, x11-common has just been properly unpacked and even
configured, however it was in triggers-awaited stage after this
failure:

-8<-
$ dpkg -l x11-common
<...>
iW  x11-common                        1:7.4+1
->8-

I suspect dpkg failed to realize this.
