Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Relevant error messages:

Preparing to replace mysql-server 5.0.45-1ubuntu3 (using .../mysql-server_5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.4_all.deb) ...

 * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld

mysqld_safe: no process killed

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

invoke-rc.d returned 1

There is a MySQL server running, but we failed in our attempts to stop it.

Stop it yourself and try again!

Could you please provide the following information:

 * content of /var/log/daemon.log related to mysql processes:

    /var/log/daemon.log

 * apparmor audit messages related to mysqld:

    /var/log/kern.log

 * mysql configuration stripped of private information (such as password):

    /etc/mysql/my.cnf

 * extra mysql configuration from the conf.d directory:

    /etc/mysql/conf.d/
