[debian-mysql] Bug#418685: mysql-server-5.0: same thing with 2.6.20.6

[Frank Thieme]

Package: mysql-server-5.0
Followup-For: Bug #418685

Just tried to upgrade from etch to testing (mysql-server-5.0
5.0.32-7etch1 -> 5.0.38-1). Currently running kernel is a self compiled 
2.6.20.6. The last message from aptitude are:

Setting up libmysqlclient15off (5.0.38-1) ...

Setting up mysql-client-5.0 (5.0.38-1) ...
Setting up mysql-server-5.0 (5.0.38-1) ...
Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld.

But it really hangs on other things.

'ps axu' shows:

And no, same thing happens if there are only the mysql packages upraded.
