I tried that and when I did the upgrade I got this:
:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade -y

I did some searching and found this thread
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-112505.html
So I went to /etc/mysql/debian.cnf to get the password. Then I updated the
password using
UPDATE user SET password=PASSWORD('***password from file goes here****') WHERE
user='debian-sys-maint';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Then I ran the update and it went fine. even without it being disabled.
Since I didn't do them independently I don't know if it was the password
that was the problem all along or if shutting the mysql server was
necessary. The server was not off when I ran the second upgrade.
Hope this helps.
