The exit 0 at the end of the script was dropped. This causes the
script to exit with the exit code of the last command run which is
usually non-zero. In the case that the script exits non-zero then the
upgrade fails to configure the new package.
While in there please fix the funky indention introduced by the last
change too. The indention is inconsistent.

For anyone else experiencing this problem the workaround is simple.
Append an "exit 0" to the end of the init script and then reconfigure
again. With the restoration of the proper exit code the configure
will conclude.
# echo "exit 0" >> /etc/init.d/mysql
# dpkg --configure -a
Thanks,
Bob
