[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

[Ben Vitale]

I had the issue from the original description.

I was able to stop it manually using 'mysqladmin shutdown -u root -p
...'  Then followed the instructions here:

http://mirzmaster.wordpress.com/2009/01/16/mysql-access-denied-for-user-
debian-sys-maintlocalhost/

And after starting it again I was able to stop it successfully. Then I
retried the upgrade from Update Manager and it worked. Up and running on
5.1.37.
