Comment 9 for bug 613195

Here was the email contents:

=============
Thanks very much for your efforts at helping me with this problem--not a
bug after all. My system got messed up a bit.

Here's basically what I did: (may be of use to others)

1. I went to /etc/init and gave the command:
sudo gedit mysql.conf so that I could comment out the start-on lines,
saved the file and rebooted the computer.

2. I then cleared up package manager with: sudo dpkg --configure -a

3. I then used: sudo apt-get --reinstall install mysql-server

4. Next I used: sudo apt-get remove mysql-server

5. And then finally: sudo apt-get autoremove

6. After a reboot I was able to completely use update-manager.

I don't know how to dump the Bug #613195, but it totally resolved at
this point.
