(0.9.10-2), pulseaudio-module-zeroconf:amd64 (1:8.0-0ubuntu3.10, automatic),

That wasn't a system update really. It looks like you installed
something like 'paprefs' manually, which might then automatically
install 'pulseaudio-module-gconf' and 'pulseaudio-module-zeroconf'.
I don't really know if any of those are broken or just not configured
correctly, but it sounds like you just need to uninstall them:
sudo apt remove paprefs pulseaudio-module-zeroconf pulseaudio-module-
gconf
or something like that.
** Summary changed:
- Pulseaudio broken after update
+ Pulseaudio broken after installing 'paprefs'
** Package changed: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) => paprefs (Ubuntu)
** Changed in: paprefs (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => New
