[Bug 1207026] Re: package mysql-server-5.5 5.5.31-0ubuntu0.12.04.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Robie Basak]

Thank you for your report.

This looks like a local configuration problem, rather than a bug in
Ubuntu.

It looks like you have some security updates installed, but some other
packages are behind. You need to fully upgrade your system to the latest
security updates. Try typing: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f
install".

If this doesn't work for you, then you can find pointers to get help for
this sort of problem here: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community

Since we use this bug tracker to track bugs, rather than configuration
problems, I'm marking this bug as Invalid. This helps us to focus on
fixing the bugs that we are actually able to work on.

If you believe that this is really a bug, then you may find it helpful
to read "How to report bugs effectively"
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful
if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem,
explain why you believe this is a bug rather than a problem specific to
your system, and then change the bug status back to New.

** Changed in: mysql-5.5 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
