Package: mysql-server-5.0 Version: 5.0.27-1 Severity: important Hello,
mysql-server cannot be started or stopped if Splashy is installed. It cannot be installed nor removed either (since installation and removal scripts start and stop the server). Here is the output while trying to install mysql-server package (with Splashy already installed) : ===================================== # LANGUAGE=en_US aptitude install mysql-server Reading package lists...

Purging splashy package cause the problem to disapear. It seems to be due to the "set -u" command, at the beginning of /etc/init.d/mysql script, which cause the script to abort, since $RUNLEVEL is not defined. Other init.d's scripts like Apache doesn't set this flag, but I don't know what is the correct behavior to have in this case.
