I thought the :i386 packages were part of the system for supporting 32 bit programs to run in 64-bit (though I had always though there was no problem doing so except for packages that used the kernel directly (like drivers).

Anyway, that did not help.  when I went to a console (i.e. ctrl-F2) and killed X it just dropped me to the login screen (which makes some sense).  So I restarted and used the recovery console.  Using that command to me the filesystem was ro so I went back to the recovery screen and chose the dpkg fix entry from the menu.  That looked like it fixed things and did install the other 9 updates, but still complained about the i386 thing.  Dropping to a root shell again (the FS was now rw), I tried again to dpkg -r .. to no avail.

rebooting put me back in normally and the Update Manager now shows only libdrm-radeon1 needing update but it fails the same way.  I'm going to hope the update itself caused the problem and maybe they will put out a fix this weekend.

Thanks for your help!

Looks like you managed to get both the i386 version and the amd64 version of libdrm-radeon1 trying to install at the same time, and of course stepping on each others toes since they provide the same thing. I've run into similar problems in the past with other packages that atarted out with an i386 only version and then later added a 64bit version.

You should be able to fix yourself right up by doing:
dpkg -r libdrm-radeon1:i386

You might want to do the above from a plain console without X running since you will be swapping part of it's brains out with a totally different version, just be be safe.

Update.  None of the known fixes and when the Update Manager complains
and I click on Details, it says:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

libdrm-radeon1:Depends:libc6(>=2.14) but 2.15-0ubuntu10.4 is installed
libdrm-radeon1:i386:

The way I read that it looks like not a problem.  BTW, this is Ubuntu
12.04.2 64bit which makes me wonder about that 10.4 in the message.
