** Description changed:

  mysql-server-5.0 (5.0.67-0ubuntu6) failed to install/upgrade  when /tmp
  mounted 'noexec'
  
  My /tmp directory is mounted noexec & nosuid as countermeasure against
  common php exploits.
  
- Install for this package attempts to create and execute python scripts under /tmp,  but the OS does not allow.  
- Install fails and gives up.:
+ Install for this package attempts to create and execute perl scripts under /tmp,  but the OS does not allow.  
+ Install fails and hangs:
  
  Can't exec "/tmp/mysql-server-5.0.config.236481": Permission denied at /usr/share/perl/5.10/IPC/Open3.pm line 168.
  open2: exec of /tmp/mysql-server-5.0.config.236481 configure  failed at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/ConfModule.pm line 59
  mysql-server-5.0 failed to preconfigure, with exit status 255
  
  mysql-server seems to be one of a very small number of packages in ubuntu that attempt to run scripts out of tmp.
  I suggest solving by catching error that script is not executable,  and prompt user for an alternate folder.
  
  My workaround is to remount /tmp without noexec,  install,  then mount
  the old way.
