The tail of DpkgTerminalLog.gz indicates a problem in ocaml-mode actually (see below). Reassigning.
As a workaround, try temporarily uninstalling this package - maybe it can be reinstalled after your Emacs upgrade is complete. There are many other unrelated errors in this file; maybe you'll want to audit it. Excerpt: Setting up emacs24 (24.5+1-8ubuntu2) ...
