I may have run

sudo service mysql stop

It appears that mysql-server failed to start. It could have been due to you turning it off during the install and the service getting in a funky state. I would suggest starting the service again and running `apt install -f` to clean up the upgrade process.

Because this appears to be a local configuration issue and not a bug in Ubuntu I am marking it incomplete.
