[Bug 1001354] Re: package mysql-server-5.5 5.5.22-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 on clean installation

[James Page]

I think its something todo with:

dpkg: warning: files list file for package `mysql-server-core-5.5'
missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.

dpkg: warning: files list file for package `mysql-client-core-5.5'
missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.

The mysqld binary is provided by mysql-server-core-5.5 - and it appears
to be missing when mysql-server is configured which is not correct.

It looks like you system might be in an inconsistent state (might be
todo with " find / -iname ‘mysql*’ -exec rm -rf {} \;" if you ran it -
not good advice IMHO).

Please try reinstalling the effected packages:

 sudo apt-get install --reinstall  mysql-server-core-5.5 mysql-client-
core-5.5

Hopefully this will resolve your issue.

Marking 'Invalid' as I think its because of the actions you took to un-
install previously.

Thanks

** Changed in: mysql-5.5 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
