I had a similar problem after an Alpha 5 update yesterday. After
the update, I had an error message for gnome-applets keyboard.
The update had a problem with the keyboard indicator I use in
my panel. In addition to the error message, the update icon
mentioned that there were dependency problems. I fixed the
dependencies in synaptic, but I could not add the keyboard
indicator without error messages. Since the update also installed a new
kernel (24-10), I rebooted, same error message. I then thought
I should remove the old kernel (24-8 generic), but it removed
gnome and I had to reinstall everything.
