Uh, completely unnecessary to put such a log into OOo attachment, plain 
ascii is far preferred and for such a tiny snippet having it inline 
would've been best, and preferably real copy-paste of the whole thing, 
"apt-get ignore-missing upgrade" is not a valid command (missing -- before 
the option)

As for the problem itself: --ignore-missing *tries* to deal with missing 
packages but there are no guarantees that it succeeds in doing so if 
important bits of dependency chains are missing.
