[Bug 696262] [NEW] package mysql-server 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

[David Jones]

Public bug reported:

using a Dell Inspiron 10 with Ubuntu 8.04 pre-installed

I successfully installed php5 and apache2 with no errors.
I *almost* get MySQL installed, but it fails near the end with INITOUTPUT undefined.

Can this be fixed??
