[Bug 903771] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.10 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Serge Hallyn]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.

The upgrade failed because the system was unable to stop the running
mysqls.

Could you do

   sudo service mysql stop

then do 'ps -ef | grep mysql' and see whether mysql is still running?
If it is not, then re-try the update.  Otherwise, please show us the
result of both the 'service stop' and 'ps -ef' commands.
