[Bug 589297] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.1 failed to install/upgrade: Le paquet est dans un état incohérent - vous devriez le réinstaller avant d'essayer de le supprimer.

[Ben Stoltz]

I was able to complete installation eventually.

Reboot was required.
Package removals, re-installations, killall -9 stop,
total removal of /var/lib/mysql.
Sorry for the lack of detailed notes.

Problems seemed to happen more when re-installing when /var/lib/mysql
was already present.
