Public bug reported:

5.1.41-3ubuntu12.4 from lucid-proposed has a broken post-start script.

After starting mysql, /var/log/syslog says:
init: mysql post-start process (11493) terminated with status 1

Looking at the post-start script shows two problems:

1)  ret = $?
Note the spaces before and after the '='.  There should be none!
As it is now, it tries to run a command called "ret" instead of setting a 
variable.

2) /usr/bin/mysqladmin --defaults-file=$HOME/debian.cnf ping
If this returns a non-zero exit status (most likely because mysql isn't fully 
up yet), the post-script exits immediately!
You need a "set +e" or something else that keeps the post-start script from 
exiting prematurely if the command returns with something != 0.
