Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Hi,
this could as well be a re-occurance of bug 1679435 or similar.
Might I ask via what tool you did the install/upgrade - I only see the aptdaemon in the log, but it would be interesting which tool was the UI triggering it?

Also - if that is your issue - you might be able to simply resolve it for now by upgrading via a console.
