[Bug 501655] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.37-1ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

I too faced this issue, last time my MySQL somehow got updated and I wasn't
able to login to MySQL server. MySQL db was corrupted, I had to kill MySQL
and then run mysqlupgrade script. Do I reply to your email or comment on
bugs.launchpad? I just noticed your email.
