Hello Anton, thanks for taking the time to file this bug report and help us make Ubuntu better.

This seems to be the bit that failed. Its possible that mysql wasn't actually completely shut down at this point, or that your configuration is invalid, which would make it so you aren't able to start mysql.

can you try manually starting mysql with

sudo service mysql start

If that works, you may want to try

sudo dpkg --configure -a

To finish the install/upgrade.

Also, you can look for the cause of the trouble in /var/log/mysql.err , or /var/log/mysql.log. If you find anything that suggests why mysql failed to start, can you post it here?

Marking Incomplete pending more information from Anton.
