The error in your log was:

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/login_1%3a4.1.4.2+svn3283-3ubuntu5.1_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/fi', which is also in package passwd 1:4.1.4.2+svn3283-3ubuntu5

If you still have this system, could you please attach the contents of
/usr/share/man/fi?  This error indicates that /usr/share/man/fi was a
file, when it should be a directory.
