well "my solution" wouldn't be an absolute one as I was saying, again, I'll tell you it looks like the /etc/ files are being mv'd to the *.dpkg-new, and WITHOUT ANY of the '/etc' file, WHATEVER IT IS xorg, init etc. That "system" xorg, init, etc. will not work.
So, where ever your upgrade stops, meaning it was stopped at any point in time in the upgrade, which means it was a different "system" xorg, init, etc, things that you would notice on your system not booting. There is a /etc file missing. to summery THERE IS NO CONFIGURATION ANYMORE in that specific "system". It seems to rename them, so that hacked up fix would to to rename them back. That is all. -------------------- by the word "system": X windows, Init scripts, Gnome, (well gnome is over X, remember that too) .. This bug is about "Quitting the upgrade premature, then you notice it doesn't boot" --- other things (to this effect, say you don't have a syslog) could actually happen. I'm just trying to describe and define it here. not offer the "right" fix, thats for the ubuntu guys :) peace.
