This isn't a bug -- your system simply appears to have run out of memory.

I'm surprised this works. If insufficient memory was available the first
time round, one would assume the same the second time round... Did you
omit any other steps in between the output listed above that might have
freed memory? The OOM killer might have also freed some memory...

Anyhoo, reassigning to dpkg in case the have seen something similar before.

Christian
