Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

My upgrade was incomplete due to this error. I'm now attempting to fix it, as 
it may have been caused by the lack of space in my hard-disk.
Also the installation of MySQL-server-5.1 package(upgrade) took a long time 
with no progress, so I killed the Update window using 'xkill' then when I tried 
to run update again. It showed some error related to unavailability of 'lock' 
at /var/lib/dpkg/

So, I remove that file by using sudo rm. Then the update manager suggested to 
fix the broken updates first by running-
sudo dpkg --configure -a

So, I did that. Also it suggested me to do-
sudo apt-get install -f

I did that as well.
After that I ran the upgrade and atb the end of it I got the message(posting 
only the last part)-
