Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: dpkg

Just upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10. During the upgrade process a problem
was reported when it tried to upgrade virtualbox (which previously was
not in the repos and had to be installed manually). However, after
everything was said and done I rebooted and everything looked fine until
I tried to install or upgrade anything. Everytime I receive an error
similar to this:

sudo apt-get upgrade

The following packages will be REMOVED:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I have gotten similar errors processing tzdata and man-db. I am also
unable to remove anything.

I am attaching my dpkg.log file which goes back before the time of the
upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10
