Well, I had this issue too, looks like launchpad doesn't let me submit a
bug.
My 'fix' is less of a fix, but here's my feedback:
'Ubuntu version: 12.04.2 LTS (Kubuntu)
Specific package version: 5.5.22-0ubuntu1
Expected behavior: Install should succeed, job should start
Actual behavior: Install does not succeed, job cannot start
There is an issue with the upstart script in /etc/init/mysql.conf.
Please find attached my 'fixes'. Please note that these fixes contain
extra notes, and are not considered patch material, e.g. I have
commented out offending code, and I have commented out a function which
needs to be included.
In summary:
Problem #1
mysqld_get_param does not exist. This must be included, or replaced with the
line used in the file.
Problem #2
An assumption is made that the data dir exists on a seperate partition. If this
is not the case, the upstart script will fail to launch.
Problem #3
Thanks to these issue, the mysql-server cannot be configured from the package
manager, as the upstart job fails, causing the install to fail to succeed.
Result:
After I made the changes seen in the attached file, the problems went away.
This file needs some polish however, including detecting whether or not the
user has a seperate partition or not.'
my /etc/init/mysql.conf (there are/were multiple issues):
