[Bug 639933] Re: 10.04 -> 10.10beta: could not install the upgrades - Couldn't configure pre-depend x11-common for x11-xkb-utils, probably a dependency cycle.

Righto. So now that there is a bigger sample size I was able to look at
(>5, unlike back in october when I looked at this the first time), I
checked all the actually complete log uploads (that is those including
status) and guess what I found.... You were all using the x-swat PPA. I
am not terribly surprised you ran into issues with that as of course
such a PPA might hold partially higher versions than in the upgrade
target, thus causing such problems. Not a problem in kubuntu or
anything. Also FWIW, kubuntu-meta is an utterly wrong package to report
bugs to that have nothing to do with the package kubuntu-meta, because
kubuntu-meta bugs get looked at exactly four times per year.

  10.04 -> 10.10beta: could not install the upgrades - Couldn't
  configure pre-depend x11-common for x11-xkb-utils, probably a
  dependency cycle.

Status in “kubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “x11-xkb-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  When doing a distribution upgrade (kdesudo "do-release-upgrade -m
  desktop -f kde -d"), the installer aborts with the message "E:Couldn't
  configure pre-dependend x11-common for x11-xkb-utils, probably a
  dependency cycle."

  The installer just finished "Getting new packages" and was about to
  start "Installing the upgrades".
