Hi David, Thank you very much for your bug report.
This is a dependency issue on the package, it should install "logger" (which you don't have installed in your system) to be able to give any further errors or log what is happening. To fix your situation David just run "apt-get install logger" and then afterwards "apt-get -f install", that should set everything in place. Marking as confirmed to add the logger package dependency to mysql- server-5.5 ** Changed in: mysql-5.5 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1014181 Title: 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 127 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.5/+bug/1014181/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
