[debian-mysql] Bug#609897: Bug#609897: mysql-server-core-5.1: "Mysqld failed" message on boot (still there)

[r.ductor at gmail.com]

Dear Norbert

as shown below, I do not have the mysql-server-5.1 package at all. 

The point is that I do not explicitly use mysql and all mysql stuff that I have, namely mysql-server-core-5.1, come from automatic installations (as far as I remember).
In this sense having a "failed" message at boot should not happen, I'm I wrong?

It turned out from my previous bug report that there was a problem in a init script
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=589513#16

Of course my problem might not be a bug of the core package, but a dirty configuration inherited by bad automatic updates, as suggested in 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=589513#13
in this case any suggestion to clean up my state is welcome.

I was planning to aptitude full--upgrade but maybe I will wait your answer.

Thanks for your time, all my best
Riccardo
