[Bug 613195] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.3 failed to install/upgrade: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal.
Hi Thierry, First, thanks for any help on this sticky problem you can give. Here's what I've done along with notes: I gave the command: sudo apt-get install --reinstall mysql-server-5.1 which results in: Reading package lists...

Probably not. I've tried installing and removing but with the same stall point. sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server-5.1 was unsuccessful also. That command results in: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

I paid a visit to Mark Rijckenberg's page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure and went through the procedure step-by-step. The line: LANG=C;sudo apt-get --purge autoremove was unsuccessful with E: The package mysql-server-5.1 needs to be reinstalled, but I cant' find the archive for it. However, I continued on with the procedure until the next problem at sudo dpkg --configure -a where it complained about the bad state of mysql-server-5.1 and recommended reinstall. LANG=C;sudo apt-get -f install hangs completely. I then restarted the computer and gave it sudo dpkg --configure -a so that I could at least use update-manager for other packages. So now I'm back where I was with mysql-server-5.1 messed up. Luckly, I don't need my database 'MadMod09' to keep my business running and will have to do without it until I can get a real fix working. The rest of the computer with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is working fine. Interestingly enough, mysql-server-5.1 took the update properly on my server, but I'm not using 'MadMod09' on my server as it's only used as a fileserver for our network. So the update from the repository is okay. -- package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.3 failed to install/upgrade: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/613195 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to mysql-dfsg-5.1 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
