[Bug 1435080] Re: mysql-server upgrade hangs dpkg --reconfigure (if root password is set?)

[David]

After 4 hours of removing locks, config files, folders, and using dpkg
-l, I removed all mysql files except mysql-common (it would not remove
config files). Finally, reinstalling libmysql-dev and mysql-common, then
mysql-server - mysql is working again. I just hope I haven't removed any
applications which relied on mysql, I had to reinstall amarok, for
example.
