[Bug 239627] [NEW] package mysql-server None [modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server.list] failed to install/upgrade: subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Charles Marslett]

Public bug reported:

The installation was triggered as a requirement for installing mythtv.

The package version was mysql-server 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.1.

After manually initializing the files and mythtv (which sort of worked -
I had to do a "sudo bash" to get the password prompt from the "mysql"
command to work, from a # prompt), repeating the install appears to
work.
