[Bug 680371] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.37-1ubuntu5.4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

[Serge Hallyn]

Thanks for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.  The
system tried to stop mysql before doing the upgrade, and failed to do so.
Could you please give the result of

   ps -ef | grep mysql

Then

  start mysql
  ps -ef | grep mysql

and send the output?

If that succeeded in starting mysql, then go ahead and retry the
upgrade.
