[Bug 444349] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.37-1ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Tauren]

Is this really not a critical bug?  Has anyone tried to install mysql-
server immediately after a fresh install? Does it work?

I just installed 9.10 desktop 64 bit onto bare metal. Fresh install with
no upgrade involved (reformatted drives that used to have an 8.04 system
installed).  I've installed maybe 5 or 10 packages, but haven't done any
sort of manual file tweaking. The system is pretty much a fresh install.

I get the exact same problems as reported above, but none of the posted
solutions are working for me.

I must have mysql installed for my application development and this is
causing serious problems. What can I do to get mysql running? I'm about
to download and install from source.

Thanks,
Tauren
