What I did was flushing privileges after moving to another server, then my new root password changed to this from old server but i didnt know that and i did remove mysql-server and reinstall it again hoping to not use flush privileges again. This caused so horrible-many-hours-wasting problem. BUG REPORT!!! apt-get remove --purge mysql-server
It was a few problems while reinstalling mysql-server 1. /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.0.postinst: line 143: /etc/mysql/conf.d/old_passwords.cnf: No such file or directory 2. Something like /lib/modules/apparmor could not be found 3. Something like /lib/modules/2.6.28***/** coun't be found because the directory 2.6.28 wasnt existed Some log (not mine): Setting up mysql-client-5.0 (5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.1) ...
