the problem is in the plymouth and the two pieces of software are Comodo and Avast antivirus. I only causes problems when I boot up so is there a way of deleting them without a fresh install?

Packages which do not exist in-distro should never, ever be listed as dependencies. Two specific packages I encountered conflicts with are xv and opera. After installing feisty, I went to install these, and apt/dpkg refused to even try. The packages work otherwise; there's nothing actually wrong with them, but x11-common's conflict list prevents them from installing. I realize there may be issues attempting to run old versions of 3rd- party packages on a new Xorg, but listing those packages as conlicts seems like the wrong solution. Currently, x11-common uses conflicts. This forces either x11-common or the 3rd-party package to be removed. Or, it prevents the 3rd-party package from being installed, so the user may resort to tarballs or other messy mechanisms. For example, my old xv binary runs just fine. For that matter, so does my old copy of Opera. But in order to use them, I have to either modify the x11-common package, convert the xv/opera debs to tar and give up the ability to remove them cleanly, or make new packages with faked version numbers. Instead, I'd prefer if x11-common simply didn't care about anything outside the distro. The 3rd-party packages may break, or they may work, but who cares? They're not part of Ubuntu, they aren't supported, and Ubuntu shouldn't care. Third-party packages are the user's problem.
