I experienced this bug independently on my Ubuntu 8.05 desktop and on a fresh Server Edition. Both share almost no configuration. On the Server Edition, the whole MySQL setup is at defaults, nevertheless, the very first restart of MySQL failed already:

If you google for the error message, it may have something to do with the settings in my.cnf, most notable basedir and datadir, however, this didn't help me. -- [apport] package mysql-server-5.0 failed to install/upgrade: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123427 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to mysql-dfsg-5.0 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
