Neither me :)

I vaguely remember that during an upgrade I was asked to choose a password (for the database, I guess). If I gave it (do not remember) could this (non-locally) prevent the upgrade of the init.d/mysql ?

No warnings about locally modified files in my last /var/log/apt/term, see below. (Aptitude should not have reported a conflict?)
With the /etc/init.d/mysql file I sent you could check that it corresponds to 5.1.49-1(and formally prove I've not touched the file).

Which package should trigger in its set-up the update of the  /etc/init.d/mysql ?
Maybe there is an error in the pre-installation scripts. Or ?? a packaging error in the deb file ??

Shall I reset my Mysql or do you need more info/time? (How to reset?)

By the way, the original boot failure was detected also in two other debian machines I have (x86).
I've not updated them, maybe it would be interesting to see what happens if I update the other two. Do you want me report on that?
