Black screen after 4.5 update

[Georgi Kourtev]

Hi all,

After being back from vacation, I decided to go for the 4.5 update.
Meanwhile I got KPackage message for other bugfixes and updates. Without
thinking, I added the 4.5 repository and started the update. What happened
is that KPackage removed some tens of packages (I don't know which), and did
not installed some 100+ others.

After restarting (as the new Linux kernel was installed), I have a black
screen with mouse pointer in the middle; no further actions.

I started recovery mode and dpkg showed some broken packages that were
repaired. However, still a black screen.

My suggestion is that due to KPackage earlier removal of some packages, I
have a bunch not installed. Is that correct and if so what can I do?

Any ideas/help is appreciated as this happened on my main production machine
which is now useless. Thanks.
