Bug description:
  While upgrading another laptop, during the process I got a dialog
  saying:

  http://paste.ubuntu.com/693682/

  After the upgrade finished I saw in the update manager terminal
  window: Exception during pm.DoInstall(): E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg
  returned an error code (1), and it did automatically prompt me to
  create a bug, but I had to reboot to finish the upgrade get a network
  connection.

  After the reboot, it appears to be installed according to apt-cache:
