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 http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xorg/x11-common_7.5+6ubuntu3_all.deb dpkg -i x11-common_7.5+6ubuntu3_all.deb And then the upgrade proceeded without error. My dist-upgrade and dpkg/status log files (prior to applying above workaround) is attached in the hopes it'll help in finding the source of this problem. ** Attachment added: "Log Files" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x11-xkb-utils/+bug/639933/+attachment/1732678/+files/dist-upgrade.tar -- 10.04 -> 10.10beta: could not install the upgrades - Couldn't configure pre-depend x11-common for x11-xkb-utils, probably a dependency cycle. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/639933 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to x11-xkb-utils in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
