The root of the problem seems to be something around libc6. main.log has the 
following
################

apt-term.log suggests the same as below:

This looks like it might be the same as bug 205836 but I'd need somebody
more knowledgable to check. The only difference I can see is the version
numbers. This bug has libc6_2.7-10ubuntu3_i386.deb, 205836 has
libc6_2.7-9ubuntu2_i386.deb
