installation of mysql-server not possible

[frank rothmann]

I have problems with the installation of myql-server in the root-filesystem of uck.
After the download with apt (synaptic) in uck I get the following error:

E: mysql-server-5.0: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
E: mysql-server: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

The log file shows the following entries:

Setting up mysql-server-5.0 (5.0.45-1ubuntu3.1) ...
 * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld [ OK ]

invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed.

I've got the same situation after apt-get update / upgrade to the actual packages.

The installation in an hd-installed ubuntu with the same packages works without any problems.

Have you an idea what is wrong?

Hi,

I'm sorry, it was my fault. After the installation of mysql-server was an error-entry left in the /var/crash/ directory. Because of this the user was notified about an impropper installed mysql-server.

I checked the installation and removed the error-message. Now everything is working fine.

Please set the state to "fixed".

Regards

Frank
