package rsyslog-mysql 5.8.6-1ubuntu8.9 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

[Dr. James F Schmidt]

When I installed MySQL I use ')' in the password. The symbol does on work when the password is on the command line to start MySQL(I do this since I am the only one who uses this computer).
I forgot that I did not need to put the password on a command line ans started to uninstall MySQL. That is when I got this message.
