[Bug 659400] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12 failed to install/upgrade: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal.

[James Page]

Please could you try forcing a re-install of the mysql-dfsg-5.1 package
using the following commands:

  sudo apt-get install --reinstall mysql-server
  sudo dpkg --configure -a
  sudo apt-get -f install

This should resolve the first installation failure and put the
installation back into a consistent state.
