package mysql-server-5.0 5.1.30really5.0.75-0ubuntu10.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Could you please provide the following information:

 * content of /var/log/daemon.log related to mysql processes:

    /var/log/daemon.log

 * apparmor audit messages related to mysqld:

    /var/log/kern.log

 * mysqld apparmor profile:

    /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld

 * list of mysqld apparmor profiles:

    ls -l /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld*

 * mysql configuration stripped of private information (such as password):

    /etc/mysql/my.cnf

 * extra mysql configuration from the conf.d directory:

    /etc/mysql/conf.d/

 * directory listing of mysql datadir (by default /var/lib/mysql):

    ls -l /var/lib/mysql

I've solved this issue on my machine. My bind-address was set incorrectly, so I just went in and changed it to my loopback address.

# /etc/mysql/my.cnf
bind-address = 127.0.0.1

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart

worked like a charm.

@Bunty: Does this solution above fix your problem?

I have the same problem. What should I do with files Dependencies.txt and DpkgTerminalLog.gz after I download it?

Hi Mathias ,
   Resolving the bind Address in "/etc/mysql/my.cnf" solved the problem

Thanks & Regards,
Ajit
