This weekend I upgraded another server with the same result as above. I was able to work around it by
#mv /var/lib/mysql /var/lib/mysql.orig #mkdir /var/lib/mysql #chmod /var/lib/mysql to match mysql.orig #chown mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql #mv /var/lib/mysql.orig/mysql /var/lib/mysql/mysql #start mysql There is apparently some problem with one or more of the files in /var/lib/mysql.orig restarting mysql creats new one which work fine. Once I did this I was able to move the old mysql tables in subdirectories of /var/lib/mysql with out any problems. I hope this helps someone. -- 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
