[Bug 674543] [NEW] package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.6 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Patrick Schmalstig]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu updater tried to install this package but has failed. According
to the details dialog... it was trying to downgrade MySQL from 5.12 to
5.1. Why is it downgrading?

Ubuntu release Lucid Linux (10.04)

What I expected to happen: It to be correctly installed... but then
again if it was a downgrade package I don't want it installing unless
absolutely necessary.

What had happened instead: the package failed to install.
