[Bug 666383] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.6 failed to install/upgrade: [SRU] infinite loop in /etc/init/mysql.conf if mysqld is not running

[IAmDaveMyers]

Hello again all,

Any news on the tracking of this bug?

anything I can do to test the function of an upstart script? I would be
able to help out in terms of testing of the upstart script etc.

I am wondering if this is an issue due to installing from source on the
original instal -  I obviously decided to do things the hard way!

I do have a 'server system' running on another box, and I don't believe
that I have the same problems on that box (I only just realised this
system was runnning mysql).

Why however, after removing mysql from my system, then re-installing
from the repo's do I still have a problem?

Anything I can do to investigate?

Clean install?? If I do this I would need to copy my tables over to
another external HDD (not a problem), however I like to try to keep my
solutions to problems 'simple' and for a general user this may be a
something they may not want to do - that being said anyone running a
full blown server system most likely has the experience to know what
they are doing so it probably wouldn't be a problem for them.

Has anyone confirmed this problem on another system as still being in
existance? if it is truly just my strange system setup, and a clean
install is the recomended solution, then clean install it will be.

please tell me what I can do to help out, so as I can actually 'help
out'

David
