I tried to update again to see some console errors, but it worked flawlessly.

Now I saw that the console log was attached automatically. That's nice. If you need translation of some lines, just ask me.

This is known problem in apt being tracked as bug #349469. As the problem is kind of a temporarly glitch it's no suprise that your update worked the second time around. Marking this report as a duplicate.
