I tried "DEBIAN_PRIORITY=low dpkg --configure -a 2>&1 | tee error.log"

and it succeeded:

Setting up x11-common (7.1.0-12) ...

Setting up xserver-xorg-core (1.1.1-19) ...
Setting up xserver-xorg-video-neomagic (1.1.1-5) ...
Setting up xserver-xorg-video-all (7.1.0-13) ...

I'm not sure whether this makes the bug less severe, feel free to
downgrade it.
