[Bug 239627] Re: 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]

I attempted to reproduce the problem when I upgraded to Intrepid (clean
install on a new, larger hard drive), and I did not have any issues.

Installed: hdhomerun-config [0.20080430].
And verified that I could scan channels and watch a channel on VLC using it.

Installed:  libgmyth0 [1:0.7.1-1], libmyth-0.21-0 [18722], libmyth-perl
[18722], mythtv [18722], mythtv-backend [18722], mythtv-common [18722],
mythtv-database [18722], mythtv-frontend [18722], mythtv-theme-blootube*
[1:0.21.0-0], mythtv-theme-glass-wide [0.20080908-0], mythtv-theme-gray-
osd, mythtv-theme-isthmus, mythtv-theme-iulius*, mythtv-theme-
metallurgy*, mythtv-theme-myth*, mythtv-theme-project*, mythtv-theme-
retro*, mythtv-theme-titivillus*, mythtv-transcode-utils [18722].

[One possible change, I may have had mysql installed before mythtv
before and not this time.]

Then I executed these commands in this order (order may have been different before?):
sudo adduser me mythtv
mythtv-setup
sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend start
Then brought up the front end form the App menu and all worked.

[One command failed because I forgot to log out and back in so I would
show up in the mythtv group - I did that and continued.]

... Perhaps the issue is fixed, or perhaps it is related to something I
did (slightly) differently ...
