the logs in your blogpost show that you serem to have installed a
third party package from some PPA that wasnt properly packaged
according to debian standards (PPAs should really be used with care) ...

try to remove all traces of the handbrake packages your apt complains
about using dpkg -r and see if that improves things ... due to
handbrake behaving evil in your system the upgrade of your upstart
(init) could not finish, getting that in order again will be a little
harder though ...

conclusion: handle PPA packages with extreme care, only install bits
from packagers that you trust ... this is definitely not the fault of
ubuntu ...
