Just remove the conky package and another apt-get -f should finish the installation.

Sorry, I misunderstood your report, there is indeed a problem for dist-upgrades which I didn't catch in my testing.
I hope motu-release will permit me to release the fix in time for the karmic release.

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

motu-release, can I get a go ahead to upload the fix for this?

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

@motu-release: Hmmm, universe final freeze will be at 1200UTC on Sunday, 25 October so I wouldn't need a go-ahead from you guys, but feel free to advice me anyhow if you have anything to object.

[Iulian Udrea (iulian)]

Nothing to object, please upload.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

No motu-release ack is needed to fix a bug. Go ahead.

This bug was fixed in the package conky - 1.7.2-0ubuntu5

---------------
conky (1.7.2-0ubuntu5) karmic; urgency=low

  * Bug-fix only release (LP: #457022):
    - add Replaces on conky to conky-all to avoid misconfiguration
      during dist-upgrades.
