Thanks for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I wonder whether something is getting confused with respect to networking. Could you try changing the line:
bind-address = 192.168.1.208 in /etc/mysql/my.cnf to bind-address = 127.0.0.1 ? Then restart mysql, and re-try the upgrade? Also, please post (non-sensitive) contents of any files under /etc/mysql/conf.d. ** Changed in: mysql-5.1 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to mysql-5.1 in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/693189 Title: package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12 failed to install/upgrade: Pakket is in een ernstige inconsistente status - u moet het opnieuw installeren alvorens het te verwijderen. -- 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
