[Bug 403898] Re: package mysql-server-5.0 5.1.30really5.0.75-0ubuntu10.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Ok, I solved the problem!
It's an apparmor issue. It had newly created two files in /etc/apparmor.d :
usr.sbin.mysqld.dpkg-dist
usr.sbin.mysqld.new

For some reason the override the settings in usr.sbin.mysqld, so mysql didn't have permissions needed to run.
I just needed to delete those files and restart apparmor and mysql.

But this is still a bug in apparmor. Would be nice to assign in to
someone in the dev team.
