1)
Description:	Ubuntu 11.10
Release:	11.10

2)
It was during an automatic distribution upgrade on the 25/02/2012, I don't know the name of the package that triggers this.

3)
I expected the updates to download and install properly as they usually do.

4)
They downloaded ok. Then when installing, I got the following error message. I've attached the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade and in /etc/apt in case it helps.

********
Please report this as a bug (if you haven't already) and include the files /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log and /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log in your report. The upgrade has aborted.
Your original sources.list was saved in /etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade.
