I've finally bypassed this error by stopping mysql server with : mysqladmin -u root -p shutdown
Restart the upgrade and all is fine. It seems that the package which do the upgrade don't have the necessary rights to stop mysql server. -- package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.37-1ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/520335 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to mysql-dfsg-5.1 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
