[Bug 619502] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12 failed to install/upgrade: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal.

[Serge Hallyn]

Past experience (and googling) suggest synaptic might have been running
in the background, or a previous dpkg may have hung.  Can you paste the
output of 'ps -ef' in this bug report?  Check for 'synaptic', 'apt*', and
dpkg, and, if you don't see any of those, then re-try the mysql
reinstallation?
