Thanks for your bugreport.

I looked into this and I think I can reproduce it now. It appears to be a 
problem with the way apt handles packages in state "triggers-pending". To 
reproduce:
$ sudo dpkg -i --no-triggers 2vcard
$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall 2vcard

** Package changed: update-manager (Ubuntu) => apt (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => In Progress

** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
     Assignee: (unassigned) => Michael Vogt (mvo)
