From the apt log:

Setting up keyboard-configuration (1.70ubuntu4) ...
iconv: error while loading shared libraries: libiconv.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing keyboard-configuration (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127

Please run these commands and paste the output here:

apt-cache policy libc-bin
file /usr/bin/iconv
which iconv

looks like your /usr/bin/iconv is not from ubuntu.

you need to reply, otherwise it's pointless to file a number of dupes every time you run updates to the machine..

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

no reply, closing the bug... reinstall your machine if you don't know how to otherwise fix it, and stop sending these bugs that are due to your broken installation.
