Here was the email contents: ============= Thanks very much for your efforts at helping me with this problem--not a bug after all. My system got messed up a bit.
Here's basically what I did: (may be of use to others) 1. I went to /etc/init and gave the command: sudo gedit mysql.conf so that I could comment out the start-on lines, saved the file and rebooted the computer. 2. I then cleared up package manager with: sudo dpkg --configure -a 3. I then used: sudo apt-get --reinstall install mysql-server 4. Next I used: sudo apt-get remove mysql-server 5. And then finally: sudo apt-get autoremove 6. After a reboot I was able to completely use update-manager. I don't know how to dump the Bug #613195, but it totally resolved at this point. =============== -- package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.3 failed to install/upgrade: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/613195 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to mysql-dfsg-5.1 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
