I had another similar error after updates today (deselected openoffice updates, but allowed other packages in the update list to update) followed by adept crash.

sudo dpkg --configure -a
Setting up libc6 (2.6.1-1ubuntu10) ...
Setting up ttf-opensymbol (1:2.3.0-1ubuntu5.3) ...
Updating fontconfig cache...
Processing triggers for libc6 ...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
