Public bug reported: As I reported in comments on the end of Bug #1769657 "update toolchain packages for bionic" on 5th October 2018 the updates have broken the ability to upgrade package(s). Specifically, the 'dpkg --unpack' stage breaks because, from what I can tell, some of the .dpkg-new files are being deleted before they are due to be renamed:
