[Bug 1008531] [NEW] mysql-server was uninstalled during upgrade

[David Morris]

Public bug reported:

When upgrading from Lucid to Pecise via do-release-upgrade -d the mysql-
server package was removed.

I suspect that this is because the machine is used as my mythtv-backend
server, which did not have the mythbuntu-backend-master meta package
installed (The MythTv installation predates this package provided by the
mythbuntu team)

The workaround is to installi the mysql-server package, which for me
successfully picked up the old databases and users, requiring me to
simply provide a new root password.

All though I may have 'autoremoved' the package, I don't belive I did
since MythTV complained during the installation that it couldn't connect
to the mysql socket.
