For Ubuntu 12.04 and mysql-server-5.5 My 'work-around' was to replace mysql-server-5.5.postinst in /var/lib/dpkg/infor with the file of the same name from the SOURCE distribution ( was in mysql-5.5-5.5.22/debian/ )
Then the 'apt-get install mysql-server' ran successfully.... My additional problem for the new 12.04 machine was that 'start mysql' would fail.... This turned out to be a missing 'proc' file in /etc/apparmor.d/tunables. I copied the file from a 10.04 machine to the 12.04 machine and all is well -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988801 Title: Unable to install mysql-server, apt-get stuck at "Setting up".
