package man-db 2.5.7-2 failed to install/upgrade: error writing to '<standard output>': Input/output error

[Laurence]

Binary package hint: man-db

I clicked on "Log Out Button" during the upgrade, which caused the screen to blank, then have some pixellated garbage on the top rows, then hang up completely. I left it for eight hours, but it was still locked. I had to do a five-second power button restart. It did not manage to reboot to a GUI, but I then did an "apt-get dist-upgrade -f" and it seemed successful. I rebooted, and all now seems fine.
