Thanks for your report.

The relevant error is
=====
Setting up ia32-libs (2.7ubuntu17) ...
Segmentation fault
dpkg: error processing ia32-libs (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 139

This is likely a memory corruption. Did you run a memory test ? Are you able to reproduce it ?
