Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
The upgrade failed because the system was unable to stop the running
mysqls.
Could you do
sudo service mysql stop
then do 'ps -ef | grep mysql' and see whether mysql is still running?
If it is not, then re-try the update. Otherwise, please show us the
result of both the 'service stop' and 'ps -ef' commands.
