Public bug reported: Ran an apt-get dist-upgrade from the command prompt after doing a fresh install of the 11.10 Beta, and just after installing the Virtualbox guest extensions after being prompted to do so. I left the VM running and came back to find the error. Since the update bailed out I have run an "apt-get -f install" and this has completed the update. /var/log/apt/term.log shows: Preparing to replace gnome-control-center-data 1:3.1.5-0ubuntu4 (using .../gnome -control-center-data_1%3a3.1.91-0ubuntu1_all.deb) ...
