Did you find anything interesting in your /var/log/apt/term.log or the
systemd journal?

Maybe -but a non-working default upgrade method is still pretty bad
(although it's not fatal anymore).
We would need some more manpower to nail down this issue (which likely
is in PackageKit's aptcc backend), since I am pretty busy with a lot
of stuff, with a current focus on getting at least some AppStream data
into Debian (not sure if that will work though, many open questions
there, and a lot of code which isn't ready yet and needs to be fixed)

Cheers,
