Wow, that's weird.

I don't think I read about the original command that was triggering the
problem. At what point in the upgrade were you? Could you try a:

  apt-get check 

...to see what it prints? Maybe it will tell us more. 

I'm running out of ideas. I have no clue of where that requirement is
coming from. You could try to explicitly ask the question with:

rpm -q --whatrequires libXrandr.so.1
rpm -q --whatrequires libXrandr.so.2

So, if you have not used --force or --nodeps then either the apt
database and/or the rpm database are corrupted. Apt gets all the
information from rpm. You could try to rebuild the rpm databases:

  rpm --rebuilddb

(it will take a while)
The try a "apt-get update" and then "apt-get check" to resync apt. If
the problem still persists then the culprit would be apt  (but that is
just a guess). I don't know how to force it to rebuild (other than
"update"). Probably a drastic uninstall / install and redo the
configuration would do it.
