[Bug 575452] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Neil Wallace]

the issue is, as I understand it, an inifinite loop in an config script.
Mysql server cannot be stopped to re-configure the package.
