[debian-mysql] Bug#524049: mysql-server-5.0 fails to upgrade

[Milou]

Package: mysql-server-5.0
Version: 5.0.77-1
Severity: grave
Justification: can't add or remove any package

After my last upgrade, mysql-server-5.0 can't be upgrade or remove. The consequence is that I can't use aptitude/apt-get anymore.

And nothing append...

I must Ctrl-C to stop the script.

During attempt, I have with "ps axf" :

I can stop or start mysql manually with "/etc/init.d/mysql start or stop"

In attachement is the output of "aptitude install mysql-server-5.0" with "export DEBIAN_SCRIPT_DEBUG=1"

Now, I can't install or remove any package. (So I can't use reportbug!)
