MySQL List,
Thanks for your advice and help. I tried various things suggested, and
in the end, this is what seems to have worked (I've abbreviated most of
the output):
$ sudo pkill -9 mysqld
$ sudo dpkg --force-all -r mysql-server-5.0
This removed MySQL, but left the configuration files. I w

Oh, so it does start? I thought it also wasn't starting, if it's not starting
then stopping it will fail.

Glyn,
Thank you for responding.
To start with, check that the .pid file doesn't exist if the server is stopped
Part of the problem is that I can't stop the server.

Glyn,
Thanks for responding.
Does the .pid file exist in either /var/run/mysqld/ or /tmp/ at the moment?

TLUG,
Thanks for the helpful advice.
Unfortunately I've hit an error I don't know what to do about.

MySQL List,
I'm going through a post-hard-drive-crash process of reinstalling my
whole operating system, and MySQL is acting very strange.
I installed it as I always have done, by using Ubuntu's Synaptic Package
Manager to install all the default packages for a LAMP server. Every
time before
