I can confirm that this is happening on a fresh install of Kubuntu-Herd5
(downloaded via .torrent March 7).
I had just booted up the first time and ran Adept Manager to get the latest
updates (March 8 @ 18:41 GMT). After the downloads finished, it errored with
the screen shot here(also
I don't believe this is related to the exact package being installed,
rather the installer itself or a back-end process.
And the various tests for nice values (i.e. Pauls comment #8 :

other code to ensure that the value

How about just using /usr/bin/test and get rid of the expr. AFAIK, it
should whine if the input is not numeric, eg:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ i=4; test $i -ge -20 -a $i -lt 10 2 /dev/null; echo $?
0
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ i=abc; test $i -ge -20 -a $i -lt 10 2 /dev/null; echo
$?
2
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
Oh my.. I just replaced that validate_nice_value() function with a one-
liner using /usr/bin/test.
Works for me on Feisty (server install, but eg. java and gd requires
x11-common).
The attached patch can also be found at
https://no.spoon.fi/~jvtm/patches/ubuntu/ubuntu-feisty-x11-common
How do I apply this? I'm not a developer.

Something like this (install at least build-essential and fakeroot packages
first):
apt-get source x11-common
cd xorg-7.2
patch -p1 -i /path/to/thefix.diff (or edit the debian/x11-common.config.in by
hand)
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us -b
- install the .deb with dpkg -i
Same error here in a Kubuntu Feisty Herd 5.

I begin to think the problem WAS NOT with validate_nice_value,
but rather with the priority of debconf.
sudo dpkg-reconfigure --force -plow x11-common seems
to work but sudo dpkg-reconfigure --force -pmedium x11-common
seems to bug.

you move the run db_go before the if, that should fix the
