Additional info: switched in the BIOS to single CPU with no hyperthreading and booted into recovery mode (and checked with cat /proc/cpuinfo that there was only a single CPU present to Linux). No change, still bombed out with the same error on apt --fix-broken install . So if there is a race condition, it would not appear to depend on having multiple CPUs even though of course there still is preemptive scheduling even with a single CPU.
