Title:
  ubuntu-release-upgrader bugs regarding dpkg crashes lack useful
  information

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If we look at the following problem in the Ubuntu Error Tracker we can
  see hundreds of issues with the following duplicate signature -
  "SystemError ( E) Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code
  (1)".

  https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/d2dd8ddd68b15cbf2c7a6e1dea241adf4a051ac0

  If we look at any specific instance of that problem
  (https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/887de81c-7421-11e5-a1b7-fa163e4ccdf2)
  we see nothing more informative. This needs to be sorted out so that
  we don't keep binning crashes in that bucket and can create some
  actionable problems.
