OK a step further> Found the buggy package!
Step by step with synaptic I installed some 96 packages without problems. Only libx11-6 and libx11-dev are not to install, every time it results in "terminal is not fully functional " and a frozen Synaptic. Seems the bug is with "libx11-6" and "libx11-dev" as all others now worked out.
Hope that this both are fixed soon. installed is 2:1.0.3-4 ubuntu1 and latest version is 2:1.1.1-1ubuntu1
Kept back are initramfs-tools and usbmrg

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release?

I have tested this on gutsy and could not confirm any problems.

Thanks in advance.

This bug persists on dapper, but I have not seen it on any later
releases.

commodities trader) and several other drers do not more work well
since the recent kubuntu version. I will Try Kubuntu next year when
there is a new version and hopefully more useful for business use.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the later versions of Ubuntu. If you believe this must also be fixed in the Dapper release, please follow the SRU procedure that can be found here: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/StableReleaseUpdates.

Thanks
