You may need to run the following from a terminal:

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

Then re-install the package or updates.

If that does not resolve your issue, please mark the bug as "Confirmed"

[Crimbo (ckhatton)]

If I can seem to remember, the upgrade continued on it's own accord with no further errors except for the usual 16.10 system errors (which I imagine are unrelated to this bug).

So all I can say is that I don't know if this bug still persists as it was the system that automatically produced the bug report.
