I tried to upgrade my server installation from 8.10 to jaunty. I was connected via ssh, and ran 'do-release-upgrade' after making sure everything was up to date. Everything seemed to work fine until there was some text about services restarting (including ssh?), then my ssh session was disconnected.
That was a few hours ago, and the upgrade seems to be stuck. It seems that there is now a dangling sshd process and the following processes seem to be update related:

Is there any way I can reconnect to that dangling ssh session? I've tried restarting all the services mentioned in the whiptail process, but I'm not sure what '13' or '204' are...
How screwed am I? Everything is still working ok on the server, but I'm pretty sure that the next time I reboot everything will be hoarked.
Thanks for any help!!
