This should be fixed in cups 1.4.7-1ubuntu1.

No, it's set up in an upstart job, so you need to reboot after the
upgrade. But still, you shouldn't do that with half of the packages
being unconfigured due to the aborted update. So I suggest to 

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

(or using update-manager) again to clean up first.

Bug description:
  I've been running oneiric in a kvm guest for a while and updated it an
  hour or so ago; the keyboard and mouse are not working in lightdm at
  all - but if I log in remotely and chvt 1 the keyboard works in the
  console.

  The VM is a kvm guest running on a natty host; it was working fine
  prior to an apt-get upgrade in the guest.

  From duplicates, it affects upgrades to Oneiric on real hardware.

  WORKAROUND:
  unplug/re-plug keyboard and mouse.
  OR
  run the following command:
   $ sudo rm -r /run/*

  Hold shift during boot to get into the grub menu, and then boot any
  older kernel, in order to get mouse/keyboard back for removing /run/*
  (or better, upgrading to the fixed packages).
