[Bug 835715] [NEW] package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.54-1ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 100

[catraeus]

Public bug reported:

1.  installed, very standard.
2.  Stopped mysqld with the mysql-admin gui 
3. I did             sudo mv /var/lib/mysql /srv/mysql    this allows me to more easily rsync the database.
4. Tried to restart the mysqld with the gui, then /enc/init.d/mysql start, but it complained:
             110827 17:30:32 [Warning] Can't create test file /srv/mysql/caes-srv-00.lower-test
  a few times then:
             ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
5.  move it back to the default
6.  try to restart, to no avail, although the 'can't create' complaint is gone.
7.  try to uninstall mysql-server
8.  it didn't and now shows up in the broken list.
9.  Here I am at Launchpad.
