The problem seems to be caused by Apparmor. For example in /var/log/syslog:

Did

apt-get remove --purge apparmor
apt-get -f install

the mysql server components then upgraded OK and the server started.

I don't know about Apparmor, but from the looks of syslog, it looks as though there was a problem with the apparmor acls; I noticed that during the mysql server install, a script appears to load up the apparmor rules and these rules appear to be preventing a clean mysqld upgrade.

Previous upgrades of mysqld under Gutsy on this machine have been problem free.
