Comment 2 for bug 654392

I'm getting same error, during upgrading to 10.10 from 10.04. After that failed I went to update utility and tried to update and I get also error.

Here is the report I get (sorry, it's in Finnish, but you peeps get the point probably):

 Valmistellaan paketin deskbar-applet 2.30.0-0ubuntu1 vaihtamista (käyttäen pakettia .../deskbar-applet_2.30.1-1ubuntu1_i386.deb)...

 Puretaan korvaavaa deskbar-applet-pakettia...
