I've solved this issue on my machine. My bind-address was set incorrectly, so I just went in and changed it to my loopback address.
# /etc/mysql/my.cnf bind-address = 127.0.0.1 sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart worked like a charm. -- package mysql-server-5.0 5.1.30really5.0.75-0ubuntu10.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394583 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
