“colord “error after installing Ubuntu 12.04
Issue you cannot install Ubuntu tweak or some other program which requires “colord” because “colord” is broken.
Fix:
Open a terminal
sudo ldconfig sudo dpkg -r colord sudo apt-get check sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade --fix-missing
If his doesn’t work, further steps to try:

Thanks for pointing in the right direction. However, “dpkg -r” wouldn’t run for me, owing to a dependency:
➜ sudo dpkg -r colord
dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of colord:
gnome-color-manager depends on colord (>= 0.1.12).
I ran it with –force-depends option and that seemed to do the trick. However, then the upgrade step wouldn’t work either:
➜ sudo apt-get upgrade –fix-missing
…
gnome-color-manager : Depends: colord (>= 0.1.12)
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
In the end, “sudo apt-get -f install” fixed this second issue.

Work for me too. Thanks.
I don’t use splash parameter so i can see kernel messages on system startup. There was a line as “fallback graphical devices” that i can’t remember exactly right now. And it was saying “fail”. When i did the solution above, that line dissapeared with the system error. Thanks again. 🙂
