There were thousands of lines earlier, but they looked ok, and did not
look related. I think my theory at the time was that apt-get just
started to work on openoffice.org-emailmerge_1%3a3.1.1-8_all.deb and
encountered an error when doing that.

I removed Openoffice, and then the rest of the installation worked.

Sorry about that. I mainly wanted to get my system to work. I wrote
the email mainly to report that the bug happens to more than one
person.
I have a backup of the system from right before the upgrade. If you
are really interested, I can install that backup somewhere and try to
replicate the bug. But that requires quite a bit of effort, so I
don't want to do it unless it's necessary.
