[Bug 1015408] Re: package mysql-server-5.5 5.5.24-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Hi Sabari,

First of all don't panic! Although I hope you have a backup of your
database somewhere :)

120618 16:23:09 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/user.frm' (errno: 13)
ERROR: 1017  Can't find file: './mysql/user.frm' (errno: 13)

Looks like the table user.frm got somehow deleted or corrupted.

In order to correct this

1. Shut down MySQL Server
2. try to run myisamchk on the /var/lib/mysql/mysql directory (where the mysql database is) and see if you can fix any corruption
3. If that fails try to recover from your last backup

Best of lucks!
