/usr/bin/perl -w /usr/share/debconf/frontend does not show up

[kilmarnock]

This does not seem to be a mysql bug:

The update fails:

reproduce:
exit aptitude, then:
Vorbereiten zum Ersetzen von mysql-server-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.1 (durch .../mysql-server-5.1_5.1.41-3ubuntu12.3_amd64.deb)

the update process hangs forever. There is no input window somewhere, nothing to answer, nothing. (no frontend)
ps aux | grep dpkg:

root 31676 0.0 0.1 55992 13444 pts/4 S+ 12:49 0:00 /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.1.prerm upgrade 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.3

killing the debconf/frontend gives:
dpkg: Warnung: altes pre-removal-Skript mit Signal (Terminated) getötet
dpkg - probiere stattdessen Skript aus dem neuen Paket ...

Stop it yourself and try again!

 Unterprozess neues pre-installation-Skript gab den Fehlerwert 1 zurück
mysql start/post-start, (post-start) process 1319

then it hangs again without further notice.

ps aux | grep dpkg:
root 32235 0.3 0.1 56124 13588 pts/4 S+ 12:53 0:00 /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.1.postinst abort-upgrade 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.3

killing 32235 gives
dpkg: Fehler beim Aufräumen:
 Unterprozess installiertes post-installation-Skript mit Signal (Terminated) getötet

and the update process continues.

Could this be the same as Bug #551130? Check your mysql configuration. I see mysqld errors in your /var/log/daemon.log.
