You need to run zmupdate.pl then apt upgrade

I think someone broke the automatic run of zmupdate.pl.

You will have to run it yourself.

sudo zmupdate.pl
sudo zmupdate.pl -f
sudo apt-get -f install

Still the same, if it is my system I can reinstall new, hardly never had a upgrade error before.

server jimmy # sudo zmupdate.pl

Database already at version 1.31.40, update aborted.
