@Clint: You suggested that the comment on http://tanghus.net/2012/03/yet-another-mysql-vs-apparmor-barf/#comment-298 is related, which seems to be the case. What I experienced wasn't a missing /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.sbin.mysqld, but rather that the update would have changed the paths back to the not-working /var/run/* paths after I had manually corrected them to use /run prior to upgrading to Precise. I didn't have an image earlier than 12.04, but tried to install mysql-server in a VM (it wasn't available in proposed anymore?). I'm not sure what conditional logic to look for in /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.5.postrm. /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.1.postrm does get removed on purge, but I assume that is intended behaviour?
/etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.sbin.mysqld is empty except for: # Site-specific additions and overrides for usr.sbin.mysqld. # For more details, please see /etc/apparmor.d/local/README. /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld otoh contains both: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid w, /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock w, /run/mysqld/mysqld.pid w, /run/mysqld/mysqld.sock w, But mysql runs fine: Aug 14 14:34:30 NemID-VirtualBox kernel: [ 1530.635603] type=1400 audit(1344947670.136:27): apparmor="STATUS" operation="profile_replace" name="/usr/sbin/mysqld" pid=6072 comm="apparmor_parser" Aug 14 14:34:32 NemID-VirtualBox /etc/mysql/debian-start[6116]: Upgrading MySQL tables if necessary.
