apt fails to update

Bug Description

Binary package hint: apt

Since the fix to Launchpad bug 236360 apt (0.7.14ubuntu3) fails to install through Update manager or Synaptic.

Update manager does not check apt or apt-utils for upgrade after downloading 0.7.14ubuntu3, but offers the Partial Upgrade option. This offers to continue, removing aptitude, apport, gdebi, synaptic and a number of other packages.

Trying to upgrade through Synaptic leads to the same failure.

I don't know if any files would be helpful - any hints?

Well, it did eventually update, on June 12th, along with python-apt and a number of other packages. I have attached the term.log for the relevant time period - don't see any messages from the period when it wouldn't install, but the actual installation is there - on June 12th, as I said.

That was a transition, as far as I can tell. Not a bug in APT.
