** Description changed:

  After a long upgrade with no errors (guess 15 minutes) it stopped:
  
  SystemError: E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
  Could not install upgrades
  Error...
- 'E:Couldn't configure pre-depend multiarch-support for
- libapt-pkg4.12, probably a dependency cycle.'
+ 'E:Couldn't configure pre-depend multiarch-support for libapt-pkg4.12, probably a dependency cycle.'
  
  I was invited to report this as a bug
  
  When (re)booting choosing Linux 3.2.0-30-generic fails (The CPU has been disabled by the guest...)
  Booting into Linux 2.6.32-42-server runs ok - system is 12.04.1 LTS
  As far as I tested till now main functions do run (Apache 2.2.22, PHP 5.3.10  MySQL 5.5.24)
  
  I attach logs.tart (apt.log and mail.log from /var/log/dist-upgrade).
  What went wrong?
  I do have a backup of the machine before the upgrade.
