[Bug 653370] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.3 failed to install/upgrade:

[Aldon Hynes]

I managed to finally complete the upgrade and believe I've found where
the problem was.

Part of the upgrade to Lucid Lynx included upgrading MySQL 5.0 to 5.1.
I was given the choice of keeping the existing my.cnf or using the
default.  I wanted to keep my existing configuration.

However, in doing so, the skip-bdb line was left enabled in the my.cnf
file.  This caused mysql to fail to restart properly, and caused
AppArmour to hang.  When I finally figured this out, I changed the
my.cnf file and did a dpkg --configure -a which fixed the configuration
and MySql and AppArmour worked properly.

I am not sure what the best solution for this should be.  Perhaps the
AppArmour configuration should abort instead of hanging.  Some sort of
message about the configuration of MySql being screwed up might help as
well.
