I also had this problem and fixed it. Unfortunately I did not record the
exact fix although I do remember the cause.
During the upgrade, the script attempts to convert the cyrus databases
from (IIRC) Berkeley to Skiplist format. If it finds a corrupt db it
fails and exits.

During start-up of cyrus and usually once a day (see cyrus.conf) the
databases are checked with ctl_cyrusdb. Are there any log entries
indicating corruption? See
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.cyrus/35023 for an example.

The cure involves identifying the corrupt db, deleting it and allowing
cyrus to re-create it on start up. tls_sessions.db is a favourite
apparently. If it's deliver.db then you will have to re-mark messages as
read.
(I am assuming that mailboxes.db is OK although there are instructions
out there for re-creating it).
