Thanks for your report.

Could you please attach the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade or /var/log/term.log to this bug report (you need superuser privileges in order to read that file) ?

This is likely a dup of bug 254953

Thanks.

If you need all info from dist-upgrade I also created this archive. That includes the full directory.

I'm pretty sure it's a duplicate of the bug you mentioned.
Shall I create a duplicate out of this or do you want to do some extra investigation?
