That's because gnumeric fails to install:

Förbereder att ersätta gnumeric 1.7.11-1ubuntu3 (med .../gnumeric_1.7.11-1ubuntu3.1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error while processing /var/cache/apt/archives/gnumeric_1.7.11-1ubuntu3.1_i386.deb (--unpack):

I am marking this bug invalid. The version of Gnumeric that failed to install according to the attached logs is older than the version already installed in Hardy 8.04. The logs show version 1.7.11-1ubuntu3 as failing, while the description shows version 1.8.2-1ubuntu1. Unfortunately, at this late date, it is not possible to determine the actual cause of this failure.
