I had exactly this problem butting running on 9.04-i386 (inside a VirtualBox Virtual machine on MacOSX). Tried to install mysql-5.0 and apache-2 via synaptic and it hung here:
Setting up mysql-client-5.0 (5.1.30really5.0.75-0ubuntu10) ... Setting up mysql-server-core-5.0 (5.1.30really5.0.75-0ubuntu10) ... Setting up mysql-server-5.0 (5.1.30really5.0.75-0ubuntu10) ... * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld ...done. * Reloading AppArmor profiles ... ...done. * Starting MySQL database server mysqld ...fail! invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed. ^Cdpkg: error processing mysql-server-5.0 (--configure): subprocess post-installation script killed by signal (Interrupt) Odd thing was that while hung, mysql had started and I could login using the root account setup by the installer. After about an hour had to Ctl-C to let the rest of the install run. After the rest the of the install had run Mysql was installed and running.
