For Ubuntu 12.04 and mysql-server-5.5

My 'work-around' was to replace mysql-server-5.5.postinst in /var/lib/dpkg/infor with the file of the same name from the SOURCE distribution ( was in mysql-5.5-5.5.22/debian/ )

Then the 'apt-get install mysql-server' ran successfully....

My additional problem for the new 12.04 machine was that 'start mysql' would fail.... This turned out to be a missing 'proc' file in /etc/apparmor.d/tunables. I copied the file from a 10.04 machine to the 12.04 machine and all is well
