[Bug 520335] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.37-1ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

[b_b]

I've finally bypassed this error by stopping mysql server with :

mysqladmin -u root -p shutdown

Restart the upgrade and all is fine.

It seems that the package which do the upgrade don't have the necessary
rights to stop mysql server.
