Looking at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-dfsg-5.1/+bug/574557 , could you try
start mysql to see if that'll kick your upgrade process? Also, I still would like to see the output of ps -ef (before and after you do 'start mysql') -- package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/627723 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
