>From the DistUpgradeAptLog, I see this: Setting up mysql-common (5.1.41-3ubuntu12.3) ... Configuration file `/etc/mysql/my.cnf' ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation. ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version. What would you like to do about it ? Your options are: Y or I : install the package maintainer's version N or O : keep your currently-installed version D : show the differences between the versions Z : background this process to examine the situation The default action is to keep your current version. *** my.cnf (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? .3_i386.deb) ... *** my.cnf (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? n So you kept the old MySQL configuration. It happens that this configuration is not good anymore (and causes the error above). Can you please update your MySQL configuration, and run 'apt-get -f install'? -- package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.3 failed to install/upgrade: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/653370 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
