It is not best practice to attach the logs as archive, but acceptable.

Your suggestion is verry helpfull.
I adapt the summary to your intentnion.
Could you copy out the specific lines(polease keep the ammout small for
readability) from the logs out here to the comments, so that I am able
to follow completely.

** Summary changed:
- Fatal
@ melcharios
I do not really see the point in getting the details out of the
logfiles. The upgrade crashed because a cron job also ran apt, and
managed to hijack the lock on the apt system. It would be of little
general use to see the specifics for this case - it could have been any
package.

The entire error is a red herring, I now think.
A cron job was running that started an apt-get upgrade while the dist-
upgrade was running. Ouch.
Edited the package.postinst file that subsequently crashed, stopped
cron, did a dist-upgrade, then removed and reinstalled the package in
question.
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. Could you please add the log files from '/var/log/dist-upgrade/'
to this bug report as separate attachments and not tar/gzipped files?
Thanks in advance.
