[Bug 369351] Re: package mysql-server-5.0 5.1.30 hangs during installation

[markpitchless]

I had exactly this problem butting running on 9.04-i386 (inside a
VirtualBox Virtual machine on MacOSX). Tried to install mysql-5.0 and
apache-2 via synaptic and it hung here:

Setting up mysql-client-5.0 (5.1.30really5.0.75-0ubuntu10) ...
Setting up mysql-server-core-5.0 (5.1.30really5.0.75-0ubuntu10) ...
Setting up mysql-server-5.0 (5.1.30really5.0.75-0ubuntu10) ...
 * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld
   ...done.
 * Reloading AppArmor profiles ...
   ...done.
 * Starting MySQL database server mysqld
   ...fail!
invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed.

^Cdpkg: error processing mysql-server-5.0 (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script killed by signal (Interrupt)

Odd thing was that while hung, mysql had started and I could login using
the root account setup by the installer. After about an hour had to
Ctl-C to let the rest of the install run.

After the rest the of the install had run Mysql was installed and
running.
