Failure to install: pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

apt-get -y --force-yes -f install mysql-client mysql-server mysql-admin ..

Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  mysql-admin: Depends: mysql-gui-tools-common (= 5.0r12-1ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed
               Recommends: mysql-query-browser but it is not going to be installed
  mysql-client: Depends: mysql-client-5.1 but it is not going to be installed
  mysql-server: Depends: mysql-server-5.1 but it is not going to be installed
  mysql-server-5.0: Depends: mysql-client-5.0 (>= 5.1.30really5.0.75-0ubuntu10.2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

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

Sure thing... I will try to get to it in the next couple days. My apologies
for any delay.

My apologies for the delay. I support you guys in what you are doing, so I am truly sorry for not being cooperative more quickly.

Do you still have the terminal log of the package upgrade?

I'd have to check. I'll take a look.

Mathias,

I don't have the original log, but this is what shows up if I run the
update manager. I tries to install the upgrade each time I run it.

I'm without MySQL for quit a while now. Would it be possible to
un-install it completely and re-install it? Would I need to re-install
an re-configure apache2 as well?

thanks in advance,
kind regards,
Henk

@Henk: the package upgrade fails to *start* mysql which is a different issue. Please open a new bug.
