Thanks. The two interesting things I see so far are:
- You have an unpacked-but-not-configured package. Did dpkg or apt crash
during the actual upgrade process? What happens if you run dpkg
--configure -a?
- One of the upgraded packages (wget) seems to have changed to using UTF-8
in its control file. Though, I upgraded to the same version on an
i386/unstable machine and had no problems.
This is starting to sound like #220597. Maybe another weird buffer handling
bug like #139328.
