Binary package hint: update-manager

I started to update from gutsy to hardy.
Everything went fine, until I got this message (see attachment)
I then switched to tty1, and tried to reboot.
Froze on this line:
* Stopping VirtuelBox kernel module vboxdrv
I stopped the machine altogether with the on/off button
Started again
Got this bug, along with others (evolution...)
