  convert 'SystemError' object to str implicitly

Bug description:

  I get the following error message on the command line:

  Calculating upgrade... Failed
  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   xserver-xorg : Depends: xserver-xorg-video-all but it is not going to be installed or
                           xorg-driver-video
                  Depends: xserver-xorg-input-all but it is not going to be installed or

                  Depends: xserver-xorg-input-evdev but it is not going to be installed
  E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
