[Bug 300615] [NEW] package mysql-server-5.0 None [modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.0.list] failed to install/upgrade: subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Lars Klaeboe]

Public bug reported:

"sudo apt-get install mysql-server" failed with the message:

  package mysql-server-5.0 None [modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-
server-5.0.list] failed to install/upgrade: subprocess pre-installation
script returned error exit status 1

Did a sudo apt-get remove mysql-server (it took some other mysql related
packages with it) and then reinstalled mysql-server + the other mysql
related packages, and everything worked.
