Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  update-manager-core-dbgsym: Depends: update-manager-core (= 1:0.93.34) but 1:0.93.35 is to be installed

Ok, I do not just feel like debugging dpkg with gdb as I need to go to the post office for registered mail before closing time.

Anyway,

Tomorrow is a new day ...

The package was uninstallable because the update-manager-core-dbgsym package for intrepid-proposed was not yet build. This should have been fixed by now and is not a bug in ubuntu. Thanks for your report.
