apport brought me here with the same error: update-manager crashed when I tried to use it to update a broken packaging system. One of the packages has a broken Depends section.
In my case the python-uno package was broken after running the upgrade. This bug tracks the broken package: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/libreoffice/+bug/969707 Here is the error: $ sudo apt-get check Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies: python-uno : Depends: libreoffice-core (= 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1) but 1:3.5.1-1ubuntu4 is installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
