build-essential is a metapackage, it installs the packages required for compiling stuff, this is the same scenario with ubuntu-restricted-extras, both are metapackages and have no size.

Sounds like the packages are being upgraded and the metapackage is ahead of the available packages. I suggest you log a bug

Can you help with this problem?
