I had a similar experience with the upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10. During the upgrade the screen froze and I was forced to power down. After booting again I was able to do a dpkg --configure -a which completed the upgrade process. Rebooting again brought everything up successfully, until tried an apt-get upgrade, which provoked this error:
