Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.
It looks like you have tried a number of things to resolve this problem;
however I think that the original cause of the issue may have been that
the InnoDB file locations in /etc/mysql/my.cnf where outside of the
apparmor profile and hence rw access to them was denied.
If possible I think that its worth trying to purge the packages and re-
install using the following commands:
sudo apt-get purge mysql-server-5.1
sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.1
This should ensure that you have an up-to-date base apparmor
configuration. /etc/mysql/my.cnf is installed by mysql-common so this
should leave your configuration intact - however this does mean that
mysql will fail to start during the setup phase of the install.
You will then need to update the apparmor profile in
/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysql to include rw access to this location; I
think you will be able to complete the installation by running the
following command:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.1
Please update this bug report if this resolves your issue.
