This is a plea for pushing up this bug and bug #105457 in your priority list. I know how delicate such request are, and I haven't made something like this before.
But after having experienced both bugs on two very different machines (desktop and server edition) in almost pristine setups, and taking into account how many people made follow-ups here, I think I can safely claim that "MySQL server" is broken on Ubuntu currently. The fact that there are workarounds doesn't help really, since you have to apply the workarounds over and over again. Even worse, bug #105457 occurs silently. Unfortunately, I have almost no in-depth knowledge about MySQL and Bash myself. However, I can easily reproduce the bugs. I'm willing to help hunting down them with short response times. -- [apport] package mysql-server-5.0 failed to install/upgrade: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123427 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to mysql-dfsg-5.0 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
