Thanks a lot for this data!

Here is where the error happend:

Start-Date: 2011-01-04 11:04:44
Install: nethogs (0.7.0-3)
Error: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

What is confusing in the terminal log is that apparently apt wanted to configure iptraf but there
is nothing in the logs that indicate that it needs configuring (i.e. the previous operation seems
to have completed just fine):
