Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

As you can see from the log it would appear that the pre-installation
part of the upgrade process was unable to stop the mysql instance.

It's not possible to tell from the attachments why this is although it
may be that the Amysql instance was already stopped.

Please could you attach output from the following commands to this bug
report:

  sudo ps -aef | grep mysqld
  sudo initctl list

If mysql is not running please start if with the following command:

  sudo service mysql start

If mysql start's OK please could you try to complete the upgrade.

Please update this bug report if this resolves your issue.

Thanks
