On upgrading from 5.0.32-7 to 5.0.36-1 I was affected by this bug. It hung at the configuration stage with "Stopping MySQL database server".
My fix was to killall -9 mysqld processes, remove mysql-server-5.0 and then reinstall the old version of mysql-server-5.0 that I had in /var/cache/apt/archives. This package is installed on a 2.4.26 host running under user-mode linux (a Bytemark.co.uk host) Cheers, Michael Gellman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
