I have encountered a similar error when trying to upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy. Here is the last lines from the apt.log file:
ERROR:root:SystemError from cache.commit(): installArchives() failed *** CLB *** Initializing Google Browser Sync... *** CLB *** Instanciating core objects... *** CLB *** Registering with XPCOM... *** CLB *** Adding categories... *** CLB *** Google Browser Sync initialized succesfully! I am attaching the whole dist-upgrade log directory as an archive. I hope this helps.
