[Bug 666383] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.6 failed to install/upgrade: [SRU] infinite loop in /etc/init/mysql.conf if mysqld is not running

[IAmDaveMyers]

So I've tried the following.

On the other bug thread there was a fix released to the repositories,
this was the version I was downloading /installing.

As this was failing, I removed all the Mysql stuff.

___
sudo apt-get remove mysql-server-5.1
sudo apt-get purge mysql-server-5.1
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
___

removed the directories it creates (/etc/mysql, /var/lib/mysqld,
/var/run/mysqld, /var/log/mysql)

and the init file (/etc/init/mysql.conf)
___

Now I tried to install the version from the ppa that was mentioned on
bug#551130 post15

Again I had the same problem of mysql not starting, so either the fix
has been regressed, or I'm doing something wrong. I go for me doing
something wrong  ;)

So back to removing all of that, and re-installing the stuff from the
repositories - so I now have a standard 'install' that most poeple would
have.

I'm now going to follow the required changes as laid out in post 16 of
the other thread.... will report back on success / failure of this
procedure.
