I have the same problem on Natty. The root cause seems to be this line:

setting up libgl1-mesa-glx (7.10.2-0ubuntu2.1) ...
update-alternatives: error: alternative link /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules is already managed by i386-linux-gnu_gl_conf.
dpkg: error processing libgl1-mesa-glx (--configure):

My guess is that this is because of the Nvidia driver because of the content of /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules:

$ ll /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 53 2011-08-08 09:30 /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules -> /etc/alternatives/x86_64-linux-gnu_xorg_extra_modules/

Update: I'm not using the standard Nvidia driver because I of a bug in the r8169 driver (see bug 821454). To fix that, I installed kernel 3.0.1 (see comment #3).

After that, I needed the Nvidia driver from xorg edgers (nvidia-current_285.03-0ubuntu1~edgers~natty1_amd64.deb)

A workaround to fix the bug here, I removed nvidia-current, did the update and reinstalled.

This looks very much like you've installed packages from the xorg-edgers PPA which have been multiarched and then downgraded; that's (unfortunately) not supported.

Alternatively, you might be mixing versions - the nvidia packages in xorg-edgers are multiarched, and they won't install with mesa from Natty.

I nave nvidia-current 280.13-natty~ppa1 from Philip Johnsson's PPA and had the same problem.

The fix was to remove nvidia-current, run updates and install nvidia-current again.

I did not dare doing it before I read comment #3 here as I did not want to get stuck without nvidia driver, but it all worked out just fine.

Ok; marking as invalid. We can't prevent PPAs from breaking upgrades :/

I am using the xorg-edgers PPA too (I reported a duplicate bug). I was now able to resolve the problem in a similar way as described by digulla-hepe. Thanks for the support!
