Thank you for this update.
The installation process crashed :

@Grégoire : is your /var/lib/mysql a regular directory, a symlink or a mount point?
@Guillaume Plessis
Yes my /var/lib/mysql directory is a symlink, like on all my others servers
I have the same error. /var/lib/mysql is a symlink to the second hdd.

@Grégoire, @Frank : sorry for my late answer. Instead of doing a symlink from your external directory to /var/lib/mysql, please prefer changing the datadir configuration option in /etc/mysql/my.cnf, the upgrade should work fine then.
Had a hard time tracking this issue down…
On start, no matter what open file limits are set I was getting out of resource errors.
Turns out check_for_crashed_tables in /etc/mysql/debian-start was the culprit. I commented it out and now the server starts. Is there an underlying problem I am not aware of?
@Grégoire I have already set the datadir to the external directory. I delete the symlink and create new new empty directory mysql and then the upgrade works fine. Thanks!
(addition to previous comment)
Especially talking about php 5.5 as 5.6 is not ready for production without xdebug and memcached without JSON.
@Guillaume Plessis : Sorry too for my late answer !
The datadir is already good in /etc/mysql/my.cnf.
At the second upgrade I have now the following error :

Bt when I execute the following line :
# mysql –version
mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.6.23, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper
This is strange, The MySQL version returned by the server is 5.6.23 !
sorry!! Retrying
apt-get autoremove mysql* –purge
@perret : sorry, but I had to remove your comments, they’re messing the layout. Please contact me (gui at dotdeb dot org) to solve your problem.
@Grégoire, @Frank : the latest build should fix your issue. Installing MySQL 5.6 with a custom datadir works fine now :
