well, to avoid reconfiguring uninstalled packages, I use aptitude and tomboy/knotes just ask sudo aptitude purge mysql-common and it will display a list of packages needs to be removed, copy and paste them to notes. then accept the solution. After complete removal and reinstalling mysql copy the list of apps from notes and write in console sudo aptitude install [CTRL + SHIFT + V] [HIT ENTER]
that will save your couple of days... :D -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1001553 Title: mysql-server failed to start after daily upgrade, reinstalling does not help To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.5/+bug/1001553/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
