[Bug 509736] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.37-1ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

I ran the following SQL-statement under the MySQL-root user:

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD([The password found in
/etc/mysql/debian.cnf]) WHERE User="debian-sys-maint";

And after I flushed the privileges, the update of 5.1 was successful.
