Hi Frank! Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and help us make Ubuntu better!
It would appear that another package management process was running at the same time as this, as the failure happened because of a lock, according to DpkgTerminalLog.txt. Do you have automatic updates enabled? If so, make sure nothing else like 'update-manager' or 'dpkg' is running, and then try running this: sudo apt-get -f install Please let us know if that resolves the issue. Marking Incomplete pending response from Frank. ** Changed in: mysql-dfsg-5.1 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.6 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/650443 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
