Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
I haven't been able to reproduce your issue by disabling apparmor. According to the apt log files: Setting up mysql-server-5.0 (5.1.30really5.0.75-0ubuntu10.2) ... * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld ...done. * Reloading AppArmor profiles ... ...done. * Starting MySQL database server mysqld ...fail! invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed. It seems that there is an error while mysql is starting. Could you please provide the following information: * content of /var/log/daemon.log related to mysql processes: /var/log/daemon.log * apparmor audit messages related to mysqld: /var/log/kern.log * mysql configuration stripped of private information (such as password): /etc/mysql/my.cnf * extra mysql configuration from the conf.d directory: /etc/mysql/conf.d/ -- package mysql-server-5.0 5.1.30really5.0.75-0ubuntu10.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/386867 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
