[Bug 789654] [NEW] package x11-common 1:7.6 4ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Could be user malfunction - or could be an issue - had installed from download, had no desktop interface - tried to install several packages and finally got something working for a gui / desktop, but some packages apparently were not happy.
Does the 64-bit installer do a hardware check to make sure the platform to be installed on meets requirements?
Not sure if this system is 64-bit capable.  11.04 64-bit cut/downloaded 04-26-2011
