[Bug 630028] [NEW] package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.37-1ubuntu5.4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[John Lyon]

Public bug reported:

I changed my socket setting for mysql to /var/lib/mysqld/mysqld.sock,
and now automatic updates to mysql do not seem to function.  I believe
that the socket was set to /usr/bin originally, and I tried to change
the location in order to install mysql, but the installation was
unsuccessful.  Well, I am learning more everyday....
