I had the same thing happen.  Ran with the -f option, then backed up to
running 

dpkg --configure --pending 

then restarted the apt sequence (with -f as needed). This happened twice, I
believe, before the upgrade finished.

I have Gnome as well.  X has slowed down considerably by going to 4.0, and
Gnome doesn't help.  Know how to trade X servers?  I tried reinstalling the
3.3.6 version, but found myself with an invisible mouse.
