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)
