[Bug 615869] Re: Infinite loop upgrading to 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.6

[Justin D. Nile]

I had a similar issue.  Used Update Manager to upgrade a BioLinux6
installation (Ubuntu 10.04 based).  Also hung on "Installing new version
of config file /etc/init/mysql.conf ..."

/var/log/daemon.log revealed mysql respawning every 30 seconds as above.
This had been going on for over an hour before I noticed.  I killed the
'start mysql' process, and the upgrade continued.  Installed a few more
updates, Update Manager now claims that system is up to date.

Can't seem to start mysql as a service, though:
$ sudo start mysql
mysql start/running
$ ps ax | grep sql
 1347 ?        S      5:10 /usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/bin/postgres -D /var/lib/postgresql/8.4/main -c config_file=/etc/postgresql/8.4/main/postgresql.conf
21157 pts/2    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto sql
