Can you tell us exactly how you updated, and how you populated the tables?
I'm particularly curious about the following lines (some repeated) from your daemon.log file: Nov 29 09:09:06 ns2 mysqld: 101129 9:09:06 [ERROR] Fatal error: Can't open and lock privilege tables: Incorrect file format 'user' Nov 29 10:32:45 ns2 mysqld_safe[23482]: ERROR: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ALTER TABLE user ADD column Show_view_priv enum('N','Y') CHARACTER SET utf8 NOT ' at line 1 Nov 29 10:32:45 ns2 mysqld_safe[23482]: 101129 10:32:45 [ERROR] Aborting ** Changed in: mysql-dfsg-5.1 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.37-1ubuntu5.5 failed to install/upgrade: subproces installed post-installation script gaf een foutwaarde 1 terug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/682593 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
