If it helps anyone, the version of the workaround from the duplicate bug when installing from GUI:
After the error occurs, re-run the installer (i.e. the 'Upgrade to maverick 10.10' link in the Software Updates dialog). When you get the confirmation dialog asking if you are sure you want to upgrade (not the one at the beginning, but the one sometime after the 'Setting new software channels' stage), go to the terminal (konsole), run 'sudo apt-get install x11-common', and when installation is done, go back to the dialog and confirm that you want to proceed with the upgrade. It will not complete the installation properly.
