I am also suffering from this bug for a long time. The information that

returns: Server version: 5.0.75-0ubuntu10.2 (Ubuntu)

2) /var/log/daemon.log does not contain any mention of mysql

3) /var/log/kern.log does not contain any mention of mysql

4) The contents of /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld is attached.

5) Result of ls -l /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld*
