[Bug 516437] [NEW] Try to install mysql-server and get hundreds of blocking 'logger: [-x] [-p log_facility] [-t tag] message' messages.

[ikpetroff]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mysql-server

Release: Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy)
Package: mysql-server, 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.4
Expected: usual installation process

Command run: sudo apt-get install mysql-server

What happened instead:
  The installation hangs and hundreds of identical messages appear on the terminal:
  'logger: [-x] [-p log_facility] [-t tag] message'
  Without the command 'killall logger' that must be run quickly and several times, the system finally hangs (drawn by all these new logger processes) and the only solution is a manual reboot or reset.

My OS is up to date.
