Oops, apparently I've been talking out of my butt. I've actually got
both i386 and amd64 versions on my system.
I had just skimmed the error message because It appeared to be one that
I'd seen a zillion times before. On closer examination it's an error
I've never seen before.
Looking at it closely it appears that the system is trying to install
libdrm-radeon1:i386 at version 2.4.43-0ubuntu0.0.2 but
libdrm-radeon1:amd64 is still at version 2.4.43-0ubuntu0.0.1 and it
doesn't like that at all.
So it's similar to the error that I thought you had gotten but kinda the
opposite.
So my net action would be to either see if the repositories had been
updated to include the new version of the amd64 version and install it,
and if it hadn't, I would see if I could install the old version of the
i386 version back onto the system, which might still be in your
/var/cache/apt/archives/ directory if you don't do apt-get clean very often.

No joy. In fact, now Unity does not come up so although I can see the
desktop, there is nothing I can do except to ctrl-alt-Fx to get a
console. BTW, that is what I did when you said to stop X from a console
and try removing the package. I know I said I did ctrl-F2 but that was
not what I did.
In any case, I also had the Cinnamon desktop installed so I switched to
that and that is how I am using it now. I tried a lot more stuff and
the same errors happen (despite my having removed every libdrm-radeon1*
file and directory on the system. I am thinking the problem began with
some file being left locked and that is causing the current error
messages. Who know -- I can't think about this anymore. I am going
over to Win7 and playing some Lotro

Normally your system would be able to have both and i386 and an
amd64 version at the same time. But that's a library for the video
driver, so it doesn't really make sense to have 2 different versions
of it at the same time unless you are going to be driving 2
different video cards and want/need to use a 64bit and a 32bit at
the same time.
The way I would have done it is to do CTRL+ALT+F1, login as you and
then do:
sudo stop lightdm
sudo dpkg -r libdrm-radeon1:i386
sudo apt-get install libdrm-radeon1
Hopefully that would take care of it.

I thought the :i386 packages were part of the system for
supporting 32
bit programs to run in 64-bit (though I had always though there
was no
problem doing so except for packages that used the kernel
directly (like
drivers).
Anyway, that did not help. when I went to a console (i.e.
ctrl-F2) and
killed X it just dropped me to the login screen (which makes some
sense). So I restarted and used the recovery console. Using that
command to me the filesystem was ro so I went back to the recovery
screen and chose the dpkg fix entry from the menu. That looked
like it
fixed things and did install the other 9 updates, but still
complained
about the i386 thing. Dropping to a root shell again (the FS
was now
rw), I tried again to dpkg -r .. to no avail.
rebooting put me back in normally and the Update Manager now
shows only
libdrm-radeon1 needing update but it fails the same way. I'm
going to
hope the update itself caused the problem and maybe they will
put out a
fix this weekend.
Thanks for your help!

Looks like you managed to get both the i386 version and the
amd64
version of libdrm-radeon1 trying to install at the same
time, and of
course stepping on each others toes since they provide the same
thing. I've run into similar problems in the past with other
packages that atarted out with an i386 only version and
then later
added a 64bit version.
You should be able to fix yourself right up by doing:
dpkg -r libdrm-radeon1:i386
You might want to do the above from a plain console without X
running since you will be swapping part of it's brains out
with a
totally different version, just be be safe.

Update. None of the known fixes and when the Update

complains
and I click on Details, it says:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libdrm-radeon1:Depends:libc6(>____=2.14) but
2.15-0ubuntu10.4 is

libdrm-radeon1:i386:
The way I read that it looks like not a problem. BTW,
this is
Ubuntu
12.04.2 64bit which makes me wonder about that 10.4 in
the message.
