Hello Jeff, thanks for taking the time to file this bug report and help us make Ubuntu better.
I can't determine from DpkgTerminalLog.txt what broke during your installation, here is the relevant failure: Setting up mysql-server-5.1 (5.1.54-1ubuntu4) ... start: Job failed to start invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing mysql-server-5.1 (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Can you possibly look in /var/log/syslog , or /var/log/mysql/error.log for clues as to why mysql couldn't start up?
