This is a long shot, but do you have any USB devices attached? When I went
through this linux-base upgrade on my home system, I kept getting an error
about something being open (I don't remember the exact message). Running
e2fsck on all the partitions didn't help. Then I turned of the USB printer
(which has an SDRAM card reader), and the upgrade worked. Certainly remove
any USB memory sticks.
