Binary package hint: libsvg1
I'm running Gutsy i386.
I have an upgrade icon in my notification area that tells me there's a problem and I need to run "sudo apt-get install -f" in a terminal window to fix it.
When I do that I get:
Reading package lists... Done

I don't believe that we've ever had a 'libsvg' package in Ubuntu, and that it was in a 3rd party repository related to beryl. Could you paste the output of 'apt-cache policy libsvg' here please?
