I'm not sure if I can answer your question, but someone will probably like to have more information:

What version of Ubuntu before upgrade, what version after?

Was it Ubuntu that you upgraded or the server or something else?

What server package, what computer hardware, anything else in terms of details that might help?

I currently run Ubuntu 10.04, and have a XAMPP server running here that serves up a web site for local development. I have everything set up to be the same pathwise and capabilities wise as the online server. -- Perl, PHP, server side includes, MySQL.

Cant i just clean or rebuilt dpkg

to get rid of this:

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/kbd_1.15.2-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
