Package: mysql-server-5.0 Version: 5.0.45-1 Severity: important When doing a clean install of mysql-server-5.0 it fails to start, just before the first restart. However if I cancel the config process by ctrl+c dpkg tries to fix the --configure and try it again, this time the --configure is complete and the server is started withouth problems.
Here is the log of my installation (mostly in spanish) but I believe you can follow aptitude messages. Desempaquetando mysql-server-5.0 (de .../mysql-server-5.0_5.0.45-1_i386.deb) ...
