Package: mysql-server-4.1
Severity: normal
I had both mysql-server-4.1 and mysql-server-5.0's configuration files
still on the machine. I ran dpkg --purge mysql-server-5.0, which worked.
Then purging server-4.1 failed because "userdel mysql" failed; 5.0's
postrm script having already deleted it.
A simple workaround here was simply to add || true to the postrm
script's userdel line.
