package phpmyadmin 4:3.3.2-1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

Binary package hint: phpmyadmin

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx - released in April 2010 and supported until April 2013.

During the install, MySql was busy trying to start. It was not able to start in time.
I finished intalling PhpMyAdmin. Started PhpMyAdmin and was still not able to connect to MySQL.
Un-installed with sudo apt-get remove phpmyadmin, installed again, did not connect, Un-Installed again, was not able to complete.
Fixed MySQL busy status while starting, and re-installed, this time it worked. After this the crash report reported the error while it is now working.

Expected:
Displayed the error that was not able to connect to mysql and do not show report error while it is now working.

I am not sure it should be considered a bug.
