I have the same problem in spades - X Windows wont start at all.
I tried apt-get install xserver-common and got the unmet dependencies
message with the statement X11-common is not going to be installed.
I tried apt-get -f install and got the message "0 upgraded, 0 newly
installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded."
I tried apt-get install X11-common and got the message that the newest
version is already installed.
