Not sure why I missed this to start with. The error message really explains the problem.
$ which head $ which tail /usr/bin/tail I turns out that both the head command and the tail command are part of "coreutils". See the man pages... So, I fired up the Synaptic Package Manager, searched for coreutils, selected the "Mark for Reinstallation" and then applied that change. $ which head /usr/bin/head Sure enough, I fired up the Update Manager and installed all the changes. This time x11-common was successfully upgraded. Still not quite sure where the original "/usr/bin/head" command/program went. I did a couple quick reverse searches in my bash history, but did not find anything suspect. Just odd. So now I need to see if I can get this bug closed in launchpad. Thanks Ubuntu and Launchpad!
