It seems the upgrade failed due to:

Removing openjdk-6-jre ...

dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute installed post-removal script: Exec format error

dpkg: error processing openjdk-6-jre (--purge):

 subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 2

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
