This is at the start of --auto-update after the re-boot.

Is your /var on a separate partition? I had the same problem with
/var/lock and /var/run. To solve this i had to rename those directories
(later deleted them) and i created two symlinks /var/lock -> /run/lock
and /var/run -> /run - after that filesystem installed w/o problems.

No, this is a single partition install in virtualbox that I use for testing. I will look at those files later though - thanks.
