Thanks for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
The /var/log/daemon.log from your system suggests that mysql is
insisting that you set initial passwords before proceeding. It would
like you to do:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h lturnbow-laptop password 'new-password'
Hopefully these steps will be sufficient to allow updates to proceed
again. Please let us know how it goes.
