Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
I just upgraded Kubuntu 9.04 amd64 to Karmic using update-manager. The update process went smoothly. After restarting, mysql was broken (attempting to start it via /etc/init.d/mysql start showed [fail]). I tried reinstalling it:
sudo apt-get install -f mysql-server-5.0

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mysql-server-5.0: Depends: mysql-server-
E: Broken packages
eventually I upgraded using apt-get install mysql-server-5.1 (which removes mysql-server-5.0), which went smoothly, and after that mysql was running properly. I read in the release notes that update-manager is supposed to automatically upgrade from 5.0 to 5.1, but I guess it somehow got broken along the way.

Hi,
From the main.log: core-5. 0 mysql-server-5.0 core-5. 1 mysql-common
2009-11-11 17:52:12,194 DEBUG Remove: mysql-server-
2009-11-11 17:52:12,194 DEBUG Install: mysql-server-
From the apt.log: core-5. 1 as dep of akonadi-server
Installing mysql-server-
and then the removal of mysql-server-5.0.
So it appears you don't have the mysql-server metapackage installed and version 5.1 got only
installed as a dependency. I reassign to mysql-server, but it may well be that this not a bug as
such (unless akondai-server needs mysql-server in this case its more like a not strong enough
dependency from akonadi-server)
