[Bug 674505] [NEW] package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.37-1ubuntu5.5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Ivan Hernandez]

Public bug reported:

Mysql package started to fail on upgrades and updates. Basically it sets
to users root the binary log files:

/var/lib/mysql/
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql root       125 2010-11-12 10:07 mysql-bin.000232
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql root       125 2010-11-12 10:07 mysql-bin.000233
-rw-rw---- 1 root  root       125 2010-11-12 10:08 mysql-bin.000234
-rw-rw---- 1 root  root       125 2010-11-12 10:08 mysql-bin.000235

and i have to reinstall it and keep doing a chown mysql: on those files
to let it start properly and package to be fully installed.

Thanks
