I'm glad it's not a catastrophe due to a regression in this specific
update, but it's unfortunate that it looks like it will take a lot of
work to reliably resolve.

Thanks

  You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   apt-utils : Depends: apt (= 1.2.25) but 1.2.26 is installed
  E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
