Second try.
I deleted my Virtual Machines, re-installed from the .iso, and tried this solution:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11558447

Step 1: Open a Konsole and type:
sudo apt-get update (I had to supply my password)
sudo apt-get upgrade (It asked me if I was willing to give it space to download the updates, and I said Y. It appeared to run successfully and after some 10+ minutes of updates flying by, it gave me back my bash prompt)
exit (to close the Konsole)

Step 2: Re-boot (I used the Kickoff Application Launcher, Leave, Shut
Down, Turn Off, which automatically exits VMware Player)

Step 3: Seems to work, and this time the notifier tells me only six security updates are available.
So, I cross my fingers and do the graphical update with Muon.
It appeared to be successful, and I closed Muon and noticed the System Notification Helper reported that A system restart is needed to complete the update process.

Step 4: Re-boot (I used the Kickoff Application Launcher, Leave, Shut
Down, Turn Off, which automatically exits VMware Player)

Step 5: SUCCESS! No pending updates, posting this from rekonq on an up-
to-date Kubuntu 11.10 in a VMWare VM.

Title:
  Kubuntu 11.10 beta 1: Error upgrading using muon

Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “kde-workspace” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  After installing Kubuntu 11.10 beta 1 in Virtualbox 4.1.2 (during
  installation I did not select to get updates) I tried to do a full
  update using muon package manager.

  The download of packages completed successfully but the installation
  process stuck on 20 %  on kate package update.

  After waiting for a long time ( about 1 hour), I killed the update
  process.

  Then, I restarted the virtual machine but my system is not functional
  (e.g no network, no sound, no way to perform updates).
