The problem seems to be caused by some permission issue on mysql binary log files. After the upgrade mysql failed to start. Trying to start mysql service manually (service start mysql) also failed with following error:

But if I trigger dpkg to configure the failed packages mysql-server and mysql-server-5.1 same error occurs and permissions of last created bin files are set to "root" user again. -- Mysql dead after update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/316974 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to mysql-dfsg-5.0 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
