UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
Note that libcomerr2 has been renamed to libcom-err2 to conform with Debian's packaging naming guidelines. So libcomerr2 is now a transitional package (arch=all) where previously it was a binary package.
Why this is failing on Ubuntu is a complete mystery to me. On Debian Unstable, using "apt-get update --with-new-pkgs" it Just Works For Me.....
