Sorry for Finnish in there, but basically it's identical to original reporter's error message (although only once). On both machines, I used Update Manager for the upgrade, and it popped up a closable window with the error message while continuing to install on the background. Locale is fi_FI.UTF-8.
Because of this (?) error windows also pop about dependency problem with update-manager, update-
Finally a error pops that "Updates could not be installed" (in Finnish), consider using dpkg --configure -a etc. It also recommends filing a bug against update-manager, but since it only points to installArchives() I think python-apt is a proper place for this bug.
