[Bug 815281] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.54-1ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

[James Page]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

For some reason the the install of mysql-server was unable to stop and
existing mysqld instance - however its a little unclear from the
information attached to this report as to why that occured.

Was this a new mysql-server installation or an upgrade to an existing
install?

Please could you also attach output from the following commands to this
bug report:

  sudo ps -aef | grep mysqld
  sudo initctl list

and the following log files:

  /var/log/mysql/*.log

Marking this bug as 'Low' importance and 'Incomplete' pending your
response of the above.

Thanks
