Public bug reported:

I installed the update (5.1.41-3ubuntu12.1) today. dpkg crashed. I reran
dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server to fix the broken package, but the daemon
will not start.

status mysql reports "mysql start/post-start, (post-start) process 1194"
but there is nothing in /var/run/mysqld.

I assume Bug #551130 is related. But the important issue is that the
server is just not starting.

When I "su mysql" and run mysqld I get the following:

100519 18:35:25 [Warning] Can't create test file 
/srv/var/lib/mysql/dwaible.lower-test
100519 18:35:25 [Warning] Can't create test file

mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/plugin.frm' (errno: 13)
100519 18:35:25 [ERROR] Can't open the mysql.plugin table. Please run 
mysql_upgrade to create it.
100519 18:35:25  InnoDB: Operating system error number 13 in a file operation.
InnoDB: The error means mysqld does not have the access rights to
InnoDB: the directory.
InnoDB: File name ./ibdata1
InnoDB: File operation call: 'open'.
InnoDB: Cannot continue operation.

Permissions in that directory are file. I can create test files as user
"mysql" there.

If I run mysql_upgrade, I get errors:

Looking for 'mysql' as: mysql

Running 'mysqlcheck' with connection arguments: '--port=3306' 
'--socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'
