I am having this issue right now. Before updating, I did:
sudo apt-get-update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
..and then launched Software Updater.
However, it seems that the newest version of the software updater didn't
install for whatever reason. As the install is running, if I do:
$ apt-cache policy ubuntu-release-upgrader-core
ubuntu-release-upgrader-core:
Installed: 1:15.10.14.4
Candidate: 1:16.04.14
Version table:
1:16.04.14 500

*** 1:15.10.14.4 100
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
..so obviously the software updater somehow escaped getting updated, so
I got the version with the bug still.

SRU INFORMATION
===============
Fix: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/apt/apt.git/commit/?id=c75e60eb (applied
in Xenial last week)
Test case:
- Install clean wily amd64 desktop + install libgcrypt20:i386
- change apt sources to xenial, apt-get dist-upgrade
- with current apt, upgrade will often fail because systemd expects a
configure libgcrypt20, or util-linux expects a configured libudev1 or similar,
but these packages aren't configured.
- with the fixed apt, the upgrade should run smoothly.
Regression potential: Any bug here might potentially break package
installation or upgrades completely. That said, the fix is quite
obvious and has been in production in xenial for a week. Testing this
SRU should include several dist-upgrades as well as some normal
package installs in trusty/wily.
