Hi Doug, Thank you very much for your bug report!
I'm afraid I don't have enough information with what you provided in order to make an assessment of what's going wrong in your installation. Could you please provide the mysql error log as well? It normally resides in /var/log/mysql/ As soon as you've attached the log please mark the bug again as 'New' so it can be reviewed. Thanks! ** Changed in: mysql-5.5 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1017258 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 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.5/+bug/1017258/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
