I see the same problem. It happened after I rebooted following a system update (during which I'm sure I saw some apt packages being updated). I'm running 10.10 on Oracle VM VirtualBox version 3.2.8 r64453

The traceback I get is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 768, in simulate
    return self._simulate_helper(trans, status_path)

    pm.get_archives(fetcher, self._list, self._records)
SystemError: E:I wasn't able to locate file for the ttf-lyx package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.

Reboots do not fix this problem
