Ubuntu 11.10 is not in beta; it's in alpha and it's a big difference.
That means that if you need your computer to not be broken, please
stick with the stable, tested releases. If you insist on running the
development versions, then you should understand that you don't have
to accept upgrades that offer to break your computer. There are always
transitions that leave the archive in a partially inconsistent state.
Please read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1751299 for some
more info on how to deal with that.

I recommend you reinstall Ubuntu 11.04 and wait until Beta 1 or even
better Beta 2 before upgrading.
