MarlonChalegre and surlyjake, here is a workaround... Add the init=/bin/bash to your boot options in grub. Remount the filesystem RW and remove the mountall package with:
# dpkg -r --force-depends mountall

Now, reboot. It will drop you to a prompt saying that mountall couldn't be found. Reinstall using the .deb and hit Ctrl+D to proceed with the boot. You won't get gdm, but you will have a functional prompt with network. Wait a few hours and then try to upgrade again. Don't reboot or you will have to go through the same procedure again.
