Thanks for taking the time to submit this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better.
I confirmed this simply by doing
apt-get install cgroup-bin
reboot
apt-get purge cgroup-bin libcgroup1
As a workaround until we get this fixed, after the failed purge, you can
apt-get install -f
# which will re-install libcgroup1
apt-get purge libcgroup1
after which both cgroup-bin and libcgroup1 are purged, and aptitude is
once again happy.
