Update/upgrade again, this should be fixed.

Thanks for your help Jonathan Thomas. The error has now changed to:

Ok, this is a slightly different bug, but whatever.
I've committed a fix for that one in bzr, to be released with the next packaging release.

Thank you Jonathan Thomas, the upgrade worked fine now.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Yeah, this should really be fixed now. :)
