I'll add comment here as it looks as though there is a regression, I tried to install mysql-server-5.1 today in Maverick, dpkg got stuck, then after some struggling I adjusted /etc/init/mysql.conf to start mysqld_save as -u mysql, good up to the stage of trying to connect; then needed to 'downgrade' the dpkg edit of /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld; files attached, working file is now called usr.sbin.mysqld, dpkg had saved it as usr.sbin.mysqld.dpkg-old;
broken file is now called usr.sbin.mysqld.dpkg-new ** Attachment added: "usr.sbin.mysqld.dpkg-new" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-dfsg-5.1/+bug/551130/+attachment/2121914/+files/usr.sbin.mysqld.dpkg-new -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/551130 Title: [SRU] infinite loop in /etc/init/mysql.conf if mysqld is not running. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
