I looked into the /var/log/mysql/error.log and saw a couple ERROR messages:

2016-05-11T16:44:29.464074Z 0 [ERROR] unknown variable 'key_buffer=16M'
2016-05-11T16:46:47.683724Z 0 [ERROR] unknown variable 'myisam-recover=BACKUP'

I removed the 'key_buffer=16M' and 'myisam-recover=BACKUP' entries from the /etc/mysql/my.cnf and /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf files.

Then I reran the 'dpkg --configure -a' command. It worked and finished the MySQL configuration.
