Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Reviewing your log files attached to this bug report it seems that a package failed to install due to a segmentation fault in the application being used for the package installation process. Unfortunately, this bug report isn't very useful in its current state and a crash report would be much more useful. Could you try recreating this issue by enabling apport to catch the crash report 'sudo service apport start force_start=1' and then trying to install the same package again? This process will create a new bug report so I am marking this one as Invalid. Thanks again for helping out!

The main files were related to python and KiCAD. During installation of KiCAD the PC crashed and returned to the purle login screen. I couldnt login so restarted. Then tried again and the update failed again and raised this link to complet the bug report. My guess would be its connected to the KiCAD update so will try uninstalling KiCAD.
