[Bug 1016018] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.62-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Robie Basak]

Thanks for the detailed information.

It looks like the maintainer scripts are trying to stop mysql, and this
hangs. I'm not sure why mysql can't stop. This could be a bug, or a
configuration or corruption problem specific to your server.

I'm going to leave the bug as Incomplete for now, since this is the bug
tracking system and as we don't have steps to reproduce or demonstrate
the bug it isn't clear if this is a bug after all.

For support on your individual system, you can find pointers on how to
get help here: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community

If you later find that this is a bug rather than a local configuration
or corruption issue, please put more details here and change the bug
status back to New.
