Hi John, Thanks for the report. I have not seen this error before, but 5.4 is only out for a day or two in the Ubuntu PPA now.
Would you mind running this command and sending the output back here? sudo dpkg-reconfigure sagemath-upstream-binary I'd like to see whether a terminal produces the same problem as the update-manager.
