Thanks for your bugreport. The failure happens because the gnome debconf frontend can not connect to the DISPLAY for some reason:
Setting up xserver-xorg (1:7.3+10ubuntu7) ... No protocol specified Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Gnome.pm line 60. dpkg: error processing xserver-xorg (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 It would be good if debconf would fallback to a different frontend (e.g. dialog) in this case.
