Public bug reported:
If MySQL is not startable, the package cannot continue. History...
Performed a dist-upgrade on a Lucid box installed a few weeks ago.
The dist-upgrade became stuck:
Setting up libmysqlclient16 (5.1.41-3ubuntu12.6) ...
Setting up mysql-client-core-5.1 (5.1.41-3ubuntu12.6) ...
Setting up mysql-client-5.1 (5.1.41-3ubuntu12.6) ...
Setting up mysql-server-core-5.1 (5.1.41-3ubuntu12.6) ...
Setting up mysql-server-5.1 (5.1.41-3ubuntu12.6) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/init/mysql.conf ...
Looking at vmstat in another shell it was doing nothing, 100% idle.
Looking at ps:
jam...@sutton:~$ ps ax | grep mysql

Figured I'd kill pid 3675 which did indeed complete the dist-upgrade.
Seems I had left MySQL in an un-startable state (Innodb unhappy with the
log file sizes being changed, they needed to be removed).
This should not however cause a dist-upgrade to hang!
