I hit this too in a manual apt-get upgrade. Console showed me the
following error:
Setting up update-notifier-common (3.168.4) ...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloader", line 24, in <module>

File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/debian/deb822.py", line 38, in <module>
import chardet
ImportError: No module named 'chardet'
dpkg: error processing package update-notifier-common (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of update-notifier:
update-notifier depends on update-notifier-common (= 3.168.4); however:
Package update-notifier-common is not configured yet.
As a workaround installing chardet in Python3 using pip3 allowed the apt
upgrade to complete.
sudo pip3 install chardet.
