[Bug 357274] Re: package mysql-server-5.0 None [modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.0.list] failed to install/upgrade: subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

[ktmom]

Nothing logged to /var/log/daemon.log.  This is the error I get when
trying to install MySQL as part of a LAMP install:

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/mysql-
server-5.0_5.1.30really5.0.75-0ubuntu10.2_i386.deb: subprocess pre-
installation script returned error exit status 1


Then, I copied this from the terminal after the failed install;
