package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.37-1ubuntu5.5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Matthew Holland]

Ubuntu 9.10 - Karmic Koala

the error may have happened because I had the php-mysql driver currently loaded and in use.

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

As you suggested, the logs show:

Dec 29 20:17:29 matthew-desktop mysqld: 101229 20:17:29 [ERROR] Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Cannot assign requested address
Dec 29 20:17:29 matthew-desktop mysqld: 101229 20:17:29 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ?

Does all go well if you shut down php-mysql and then start mysql?

[Matthew Holland (mchollan)]

yes, shutting down apache and unloading the php-mysql driver allows mysql to
come up and bind to the correct port.
