Package: mysql-server-4.1 Severity: serious It looks as though the postinst is trying to stop mysql instead of starting it. I had a working mysql installation previous to this, and I haven't seen this problem before.
Relevant portions of the upgrade log are below. Preparing to replace mysql-server-4.1 4.1.9-2 (using .../mysql-server-4.1_4.1.10-1_i386.deb) ... Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld.
