[Bug 677413] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.37-1ubuntu5.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

Adnan, thanks for the reply!

Can you try pinging / logging into the mysql server after you start it?

# mysqladmin --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf ping
mysqld is alive

And if so, then do

/bin/sh -x /etc/init.d/mysqld stop

And paste the output here?

Thanks!
