If you run update-manager again, does the package upgrade always crash the same way?

Aside from having -proposed packages enabled and this particular update failing, is your system fully up to date? Did this only just started happening, or is it likely it was happening before and you only just noticed?

This is a bug I've been tracking down for a little while, would you mind including the output of "dpkg -l" from your system so I can try to reproduce the same system state and further debug this?
