Ive fixed it by manually installing each package. Would still be good to know if there is a log file that would show where it stopped. Will check /var/log/apt - thanks

The detailed log of apt-based package changes (including upgrades) is stored in /var/log/apt/term.log. Reading that will tell you how far the process got, and also why it failed.
/var/log/apt/history.log, which you can match up with term.log by looking at the entry timestamps, will tell you what apt command was run and what it tried to do.
