I don't see an obvious problem from the logs other than essential apps 
are not being upgraded/installed.

At earlier steps in the upgrade process, if you are selecting to 
preserve current apps/settings, those choices could be preventing the 
installation/upgrade of new components. I don't enough of the Xubuntu 
components to understand what/how essential parts are connected to each 
other.

Another option to check on is an old bugaboo: are you running out of 
disk space, either on the volume to be upgrade or in the /boot volume 
(where you should only have 2-3 kernel images)?

The sudden halt without explanation is a common result of a lack of disk 
space.
