Glancing at Martin Pitt's short note I think that this long term,
ongoing issue is linked to character encoding and/or a file or library
which is co-dependent to XML. The same cyclical error that came up in
7.X comes up in 8.04.1 now:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/$ ps axu|grep scrollk

I suppose "muting" the file permissions of only scrollkeeper-update will
make my Add/Remove upgrades work in the interim.  ~$ uname -r
