Public bug reported: using both apt and aptitude under ubuntu Maverick 10.10 mysql-server-5.1 and mysql-server fail to install.
Below is the error generated by apt Setting up mysql-server-5.1 (5.1.49-1ubuntu8) ... Use of uninitialized value $_[1] in join or string at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/DbDriver/Stack.pm line 111, <GEN0> line 7. ! 2010-10-30 14:21:34 [logger] Usage: logger [<logname>:]<progname> <level> [<text>] ATTENTION: An error has occured.

This was working under lucid, but the upgrage to maverick is what caused this package to break, on my machine. "mysql-server: Installed: 5.1.49-1ubuntu8" is the version of mysql- server apt is trying to install.
