I've had that on a few systems, try this:

1. Reboot using the Recovery kernel.
2. Select the xfix option, let it do it's thing.
3. Select the dpkg option & let it do it's thing - more than likely it
will download a few more packages & install.
4. Select the resume option & see if all works. If not, repeat 1-4 again
- on one system it took me 3 times to get it all straight, but for the
most part just one pass worked fine.
