Public bug reported:

mysql upgrade makes system unusable as it breaks apt.   unattended
upgrade hangs.  You cannot run apt-get install. After rebooting, system
is still broken.  You can't even remove mysql-server as it tries to
resume the install. I did not even install mysql, it was autoinstalled.
Was finally able to use "sudo dpkg --remove mysql-server-5.7 default-
mysql-server" to remove it.


After reboot:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Cannot stat file /proc/10021/fd/1023: Permission denied    [appimaged]
Checking if update is needed.
This installation of MySQL is already upgraded to 5.7.37, use --force if you 
still need to run mysql_upgrade
