This seems to be the failure:

Could not open required defaults file: /etc/mysql/debian.cnf
Fatal error in defaults handling. Program aborted
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

b2evolution is not being supported by Ubuntu currently anymore and will be removed from the archives for now (bug 872383).

Please refer to the upstream site at http://b2evolution.net, if you're so inclined to install it manually.
