I downloaded the i386 and amd64 binaries from that version from
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/2.29.92-0ubuntu1/+build/2793297
and
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/2.29.92-0ubuntu1/+build/2793299.
They both have an identical changelog.Debian.gz, so I'm not sure where
the changelog.Debian.gz with the 'apt-get changelog libglib2.0-data'
came from in this particular instance. Also, both these two debs and
libglib2.0-data's changelog.Debian.gz are proper files, not symlinks.

In theory, such a situation could arise like this:

 (1) The i386 build builds -0 and -data, both get identical
changelog.Debian.gz, and the one from libglib2.0-0 gets symlinked to
libglib2.0-data.

 (2) After that, libglib2.0-data's changelog gets truncated, and a
pointer added to apt-get changelog.

 (3) The amd64 build doesn't build the arch:all libglib2.0-data, and
thus libglib2.0-0:amd64's changelog.Debian.gz won't be a symlink. During
truncation it would point to "apt-get changelog libglib2.0-0".

However, that can't be the case: pkgbinarymangler does not do symlinks
from arch:any to arch:all for this very reason, rendering (1)
impossible. Also, changelog stripping happens _first_, and symlinking
afterwards, so the symlinking takes care only to symlink identical
files, rendering (2) impossible. Thirdly, the packages built by
launchpad all have changelog.Debian.gz as proper files, rendering (3)
impossible.

In such a situation, could you please give me the output of

  ls -l /usr/share/doc/*glib2.0*/changelog.Debian.gz
  dpkg -S /usr/share/doc/*glib2.0*/changelog.Debian.gz

to see which changelog.Debian.gz gets claimed by which package, and
which are symlinks? Michael, did you happen to get the glib packages
from a different place than the archive, i. e. can you please give me
the output of

  apt-cache policy libglib2.0-0

?

Bug description:
  While upgrading another laptop, during the process I got a dialog
  saying:

  http://paste.ubuntu.com/693682/

  After the upgrade finished I saw in the update manager terminal
  window: Exception during pm.DoInstall(): E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg
  returned an error code (1), and it did automatically prompt me to
  create a bug, but I had to reboot to finish the upgrade get a network
  connection.

  After the reboot, it appears to be installed according to apt-cache:
