Further Info:

1) I'm guessing it's a race condition, with two instances of
x2gocleansessions running simpultaneously and locking each other up:

e.g. sample output:

ps ax|grep clean
 1995 ?        S      0:36 /usr/bin/perl /usr/sbin/x2gocleansessions
16142 pts/0    S+     0:05 /usr/bin/perl /usr/sbin/x2gocleansessions

2) The kill command given below in my previous e-mail doesn't work.
What worked was this:

ps ax | grep x2gocleansessions | grep perl \
| awk ' { print $1 }' | xargs -n 1 kill

(the backslash is so it can be broken up in two lines)
You have to run this in a second terminal session (as root) while the
apt-get upgrade process is stuck in the first.

It will then continue without reporting an error.
