"mysql" is my database itself. My personal workaround is that after experiencing this bug, I run sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server-5.0 && sudo apt-get install mysql-server Of course, I answer the dialog whether I want to remove the database itself, too, with "no". -- [apport] package mysql-server-5.0 failed to install/upgrade: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123427 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
