Same issue for me; attempting a dist-upgrade from 8.10 LTS.
Upgrade threw an error but then seemed to finish. However, upon rebooting, the system was in an unusable state. Thanks to seeing this page before rebooting, I knew to try
# apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic
...and then the rest of the package setup completed. It took another couple of reboots to get everything sorted, but everything seems fine now.
I don't want to imagine how long it would have taken me to get my system working again if I hadn't seen MargL's notes above.
So, although the bug may be "fixed" somewhere, I think it may still be affecting people who waited this long to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04.
