the failures are completely unrelated, that's apport going crazy and wrongly duplicating reports when there is a dpkg error during an update-manager run i.e. any package installation failure.

affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) → apport (Ubuntu)
summary: - update-manager crashed with SystemError: E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg
- returned an error code (1)

I think update-manager should catch the error here and report something more informative regarding how dpkg crashed.
