Hi and thanks for the report, it seems that the automatic "try to backup and upgrade" failed. That is usually due to local config that does not behave well as it needs knowledge or assumptions the package can't have. Or at other times by using features that have been removed.
The log output is actually quite clear on what it tried, and that it suggests to the admin to overcome this to continue.
