Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
During upgrade I got an error window (with no debugging information) about an error with plucker package (screenshot included). Later on, the upgrade failed with several complaints about ALSA, and when I issued dpkg --configure -a, I got this:
philsf@peralta:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
[sudo] password for philsf:

Errors were encountered while processing:
plucker
Fortunately, this occurred very late in the upgrade process, and I could boot into the new kernel, and upgrade packages from synaptic.
The issue continued to happen, after rebooting, during each and every pacakge operation (install, upgrade or remove) in synaptic. I decided to remove the plucker package, and re install it, and it solved. Sad that this broke my upgrade process, and I had to finish it manually.
