[Bug 509736] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.37-1ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

I cannot stop the server by hand either. I found out the script must run

/usr/bin/mysqladmin --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf shutdown

...and when I sudo this by hand, I get:

/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'

So, there must be a mismatch between the password in debian.cnf and the
password actually in use for debian-sys-maint.
