Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

When upgrading from 7.10 desktop to 8.04 I got the following error from update manager:

'E:Problem parsing dependency Depends, E:Error occurred while processing hal (NewVersion1), E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened

The last lines of apt.log are:
Investigating ubuntu-desktop
Package ubuntu-desktop has broken dep on pulseaudio-esound-compat
  Considering pulseaudio-esound-compat 0 as a solution to ubuntu-desktop 0
  Removing ubuntu-desktop rather than change pulseaudio-esound-compat
Done
Installing pulseaudio-esound-compat as dep of ubuntu-desktop
Setting NOT as auto-installed (direct dep of pkg in APT::Never-MarkAuto-Section)
