I have the same issue (which I also encountered when installing mysql-server today, but not when upgrading some 100 packages).
Here is the output of dpkg --configure -a (with set -x added in the specified files): r...@beryllium:~# dpkg --configure -a Setting up network-manager (0.7.0.100-1) ... + case "$1" in + getent group netdev + '[' -x /etc/init.d/dbus ']' + invoke-rc.d dbus force-reload * Reloading system message bus config...
