Setting up dpkg (1.16.1.2ubuntu7.1) ...^M
Installing new version of config file /etc/logrotate.d/dpkg ...^M
dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 36161 package 'bricscadv11':^M
 blank line in value of field 'Description'^M

The package bricsacdv11 is missing a description which has then caused an your /var/lib/dpkg/available file to be corrupt, which then prevented the upgrade from working correctly.
