oops, sorry, I obviously forgot that...

Maybe launchpad should get an extra field for this, and ask people one
extra time if they forget to fill it in (but still let them save if
they, for some reason, don't know which package it is.

seems correct:

The script in error seems to be /usr/sbin/mysqld

dpkg -S /usr/sbin/mysqld
mysql-server-5.0: /usr/sbin/mysqld

source of this is the package you mentioned.

Thanks for setting it right!

Yeah, I think I already saw that somewhere.

But now I searched for two hours for the help menu of
mysql-server.5.0, and I cannot find it - do you have an idea?
No, just joking, I think that hint doesn't work for server daemons :)

Anyway, hope that thing get's fixed soon - I believe that is a very
grave error to happen - a security update that breaks the abilty of a
server daemon to start is no fun at all!
I'm happy that I don't use Ubuntu on servers, this would have been a
major catastrophe.
