Binary package hint: update-manager

I just upgraded Kubuntu 9.04 amd64 to Karmic using update-manager. The
update process went smoothly. After restarting, mysql was broken
(attempting to start it via /etc/init.d/mysql start showed [fail]). I
tried reinstalling it:

sudo apt-get install -f mysql-server-5.0

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have                                
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable                               
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created                               
or been moved out of Incoming.                                                                   
The following information may help to resolve the situation:                                     

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  mysql-server-5.0: Depends: mysql-server-core-5.0 (>= 5.1.30really5.0.83-0ubuntu3) but it is not going to be installed                                                                             
E: Broken packages

eventually I upgraded using apt-get install mysql-server-5.1 (which
removes mysql-server-5.0), which went smoothly, and after that mysql was
running properly. I read in the release notes that update-manager is
supposed to automatically upgrade from 5.0 to 5.1, but I guess it
somehow got broken along the way.
