Public bug reported: This is from automatically-generated text from the installation process.
The Synaptic Package Manager has barfed while trying to install MySQL, among a whole raft of other packages. I can't capture the diagnostic output from the window because the application is stuck waiting for a process that apparently won't complete. Ahhh... old X mouse bindings. Don't know if I remember. The following are what I believe to be relevant sections from the console window in Synaptic during the installation process: Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libmysqlclient16_5.1.41-3ubuntu12.6_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) A package failed to install. Trying to recover: [...] dpkg: edpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libqt4-sql-mysql: libqt4-sql-mysql depends on libmysqlclient16 (>= 5.1.21-1); however: Package libmysqlclient16 is not installed. dpkg: error processing libqt4-sql-mysql (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured [...] Setting up mysql-cluster-server-5.1 (7.0.9-1ubuntu7) ... * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld ...done. chown: cannot access `/var/run/mysqld': No such file or directory * Starting MySQL database server mysqld ...done. /etc/init.d/mysql: line 116: /etc/mysql/debian-start: No such file or directory invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed.
