Using Theo's suggestion to reinstall apparmor, I was able to do a clean install of MySQL...
# Remove crash information $ sudo rm /var/crash/* # Remove previous mysql installation (you will lose your data!) $ sudo apt-get --yes autoremove --purge mysql-server $ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/mysql $ rm -rf ~/.mysql $ sudo rm -rf /etc/mysql # Reinstall apparmor $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall apparmor # Install MySQL $ sudo apt-get install mysql-server If this works for others, we may be able to mark this bug as triaged, but I think there may be an issue (with apparmor?) that needs to be fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/973951 Title: package mysql-server-5.5 5.5.22-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.5/+bug/973951/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
