I don't know if this's exactly related to the problem you've seen - but...
I've had to use the commands multiple times when doing the apt-gets. I
also received failed messages but doing the commands multiple times
finally got everything updated. I assumed it was timeouts or busy
server or something. I DID NOT continue on until I got the complete
message and packages not just downloaded but the install thing with all
the ###################. Again, it took no less than 4-5 tries to get
it to finish.
I followed the directions exactly, no changes made except the multiple
apt-get commands to complete the download and install of upgrades.
