Title:
  update-manager crashed with                  Depends in
  _show_transaction(): vlc-data (= 2.2.6-6) but 2.2.4-14ubuntu2.2 is
  installed

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  My sad story started with failed attempt to upgrade 17.4 to 17.10. Got
  in a loop about failure to install cracklib-runtime, as if it was
  something I need. Power failed, since then I've been through grub hell
  trying to get my system back. Now, magically, it's back; and I'm
  dutifully checking and updating everything I know how to do. Wish me
  luck and feel free to offer clues...
