I was able to complete installation eventually. Reboot was required. Package removals, re-installations, killall -9 stop, total removal of /var/lib/mysql. Sorry for the lack of detailed notes.
Problems seemed to happen more when re-installing when /var/lib/mysql was already present. -- package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.1 failed to install/upgrade: Le paquet est dans un état incohérent - vous devriez le réinstaller avant d'essayer de le supprimer. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589297 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
