package redmine 1.4.4+dfsg1-1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

[Knut Remi]

After not completing the configuration of MySQL, the installation of redmine seemingly wasn't rolled back when aborted.

1) I'm using Ubuntu 12.10.
2) I'm using redmine 1.4.4+dfsg1-1.
3) I expected redmine to remove the packages, scripts and configurations that were attempted installed before I began configuring MySQL.
4) Can't remember exactly, but some kind of error message, and an attempt to make me configure MySQL during my last distribution upgrade.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I made 'sudo do-release-upgrade' and when the point to configure redmine came, the installation crashed with the same message as the original poster.

This is a fragment of the console at that point.
