Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to improve Ubuntu.
The error in your upgrade log is:
Log started: 2009-03-19 10:52:20

dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:

dpkg: error processing login (--configure):

cannot configure (current status `half-installed')
This points to your system having a resource problem at the time of the upgrade. Unfortunately it's impossible to know from here what caused the resource problem at the time. It doesn't appear that there were any specific, resolvable errors in the handling of the resource problem by the upgrader. I am therefore closing this bug as invalid.
