This problem was caused by the failure of the xserver-xorg-core package to remove an alternative which had been installed by the previous release of the same package.
This is fixed in version 1.7.3.902- 1ubuntu5. dsc.
Credit goes to Steve Langasek for spotting the cause of the problem
NOTE: if you want a quick fix you can simply reinstall xserver-xorg-core with the following command and reboot:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core
