[Bug 673636] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/msql2mysql', which is also in package mysql-client 0:5.1.51-1.glibc23

[Joseph Shields]

the 0:5.1.51-1.glibc23 package must have been from the mysql client I
had previously installed, I un-installed it and was able to complete the
mysql server install without any further issues.  I made it as far as
setting up the root password before the error, and once mysql client was
gone it finished quickly.

I'm guessing the strange order I did things was what caused the error.
Hope this was helpful.
