Hello Pieter, thanks for submitting that bug. Are you able to translate the error message to English?
With my basic knowledge of Dutch I understand that some signal killed your process, but do not know which one "Geëlimineerd" equals to. If you do not know this yourself, please indicate so and try to rerun the update using "LC_ALL=C sudo apt-get dist-upgrade", which should give the error messages in English.
