Thank you but you've only attached 1 log file. The directory /var/log/dist-upgrade/ must should contains at least 3 files. Could you please attach all the files in this directory . Thanks in advance.

My update to the latest version failed as wel (Ubuntu Jaunty x86_64) due to a minor error in the initscript. I fixed it as following:

edit the init.d script:
~# sudo nano +45 /etc/init.d/hotkey-setup

At line 45 (blank) type 'fi' to make it look like this:
==================================
case "$1" in
    start)

# This entire block does nothing on desktops right now
    if laptop-detect; then
        do_video
    fi

    ;;
    restart|force-reload)
    $0 stop || true
    $0 start
    ;;
esac

exit 0
==================================

Hit CTRL-O and CTRL-X to save and exit, type
~# apt-get update
to finish the install
