This is probably caused by too many sources (in /etc/apt/sources.list).

Try adding the following into /etc/apt/apt.conf, which increases the size of the MMap (to 64MB):
APT::Cache-Limit "64000000";

update-manager should probably adjust this manually, to prevent this from happening?
It seems that the error is caused by adding additional sources during the upgrade process.

I could not reproduce it with my rather huge sources.list now, but have manually bumped the APT::Cache-Limit setting because of this before.

Anyway, it seems to be a duplicate of bug 24626 - I'm marking it as such.
