Do you still have the system in that state? I'm afraid the logs are rather useless -- According to DpkgHistoryLog.txt you started the upgrade on 2015-10-23 22:34:14, but JournalErrors.txt is from the following day, and does not contain useful info. DpkgTerminalLog.txt does not have timestamps, so I don't know when that actually ran (and it's suspiciously short).

This happened during systemd's package trigger, so obviously it failed in "systemctl daemon-reload", and as such is almost surely a followup problem from some underlying real bug. But there is no trace of that so far. Can you please attach /var/log/syslog, and /var/log/syslog.1 ? Perhaps they still have some useful information.

I suppose you rebooted since that incident, so "sudo apt-get -f install" succeeds and cleans up your system? Or does that still fail? If so, that would be highly interesting. Thanks!
