[Bug 784300] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.54-1ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Hello Jeff, thanks for taking the time to file this bug report and help
us make Ubuntu better.

I can't determine from DpkgTerminalLog.txt what broke during your
installation, here is the relevant failure:

Setting up mysql-server-5.1 (5.1.54-1ubuntu4) ...
start: Job failed to start
invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing mysql-server-5.1 (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Can you possibly look in /var/log/syslog , or /var/log/mysql/error.log
for clues as to why mysql couldn't start up?

Marking Incomplete pending response.

** Changed in: mysql-5.1 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
