Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

This doesn't look like a yelp bug, so I'm tentatively reassigning to update-manager for now. Could you please attach the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade to this bug report, as individual attachments.
