This automatic Apport bug report contains very little useful information, I don't think there is much I can help unless there is a proper bug report written by a human.

However I can see in the logs the line 'invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "stop" failed.'

What is you just run 'killall mysqld' and then upgrade? For some reason the service didn't stop when asked to during the upgrade.
