[Bug 986085] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.61-0ubuntu0.11.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 100

Hi thomas, thanks for taking the time to file a bug!

I think you may have accidentally removed a symlink from /etc/init.d:

mysql stop/waiting
invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/mysql not found.

This symlink is needed for compatibility with things that still use the
direct path to the init.d script to stop/start/etc.

You can restore it with

ln -s /lib/init/upstart-job /etc/init.d/mysql

Please try that and then run

sudo dpkg --configure -a

To complete your package installation.

If the problem persists, please report back here the results of the dpkg
--configure -a command. For now, I'll close this as Invalid, but feel
free to re-open it as New.

** Changed in: mysql-5.1 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
