It looks like /usr/bin/rebind moved from novnc to websockify and that websockify is therefore missing Breaks/Replaces clauses against novnc in debian/control.

Srinath: thanks for reporting this bug. You still have novnc from 12.04 installed. If you remove it, then repair packages using "sudo apt-get -f install", and then install novnc from 12.10 again, I think that should fix your problem for now.

This bug can be cosed, as the websockify package has:

Breaks: novnc (<< 1:0.4+dfsg+1-6)
Replaces: novnc (<< 1:0.4+dfsg+1-6)

Cheers,
