Public bug reported:

This began using the update manager, when the install of upgrades was in
process I encountered and error. I then opened terminal to remove using
the command: sudo apt-get remove mysql-server-5.1.  I was then asked If
i would like to report the problem which brings me here.  Thanks for all
your support! =D
