[Bug 617678] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Kayode Odusote]

Tried forcing InnoDB recovery by adding innodb_force_recovery = 4 to
my.cnf file under the section [mysqld] as suggested in
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/forcing-recovery.html but it did
not help.

No change in the grep mysql /var/log/syslog output:
