At the time that this happened the upgrade tool had downloaded all of the required packages and was in the process of installing them. I fixed the laptop by giving it a few minutes to cool off while I worriedly cursed it under my breath for good measure. After turning the machine back on, it presented me with a blank brown X11 screen and nothing ever came up. After cntrl-alt-f1, login, sudo dpkg --configure -a, and finally a reboot, it appears that everything is back to rights. If I can make a suggestion, I think that once the upgrade tool has downloaded all of the required packages, it should install a temporary init script that does this for you just in case this kind of event should occur.
