Public bug reported: My system is Ubuntu 8.04
The error occured when updating mysql with synaptic today. The full error message was E: /var/cache/apt/archives/mysql-server_5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.1_all.deb: subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 E: /var/cache/apt/archives/mysql-server-5.0_5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.1_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 So I tried to stop mysql server manually with sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop which returned the following error message /usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' (using password: YES)' Seems that there is a problem wirth the "debian-sys-maint" user. Last week I did a restore of all my mysql databases (including mysql database) with MySQL Administrator which was backuped on an other machine. So probably this is the reason for the trouble I have now.
