Comment 10 for bug 1012058

I'm not sure my situation is the same as yours.

I checked for the language setting in my.cnf, and don't have one, so
determined that is not the problem.

I realized that around the same time that I ran the update, I had changed
routers and had a different network address for my server. I changed the
bind address in my.cnf and then ran
sudo apt-get install

It doesn't do the install but completes the configuration if it is left
hanging. That worked for me.
