[debian-mysql] Bug#685865: Bug#685865: mysql-server-5.5: Upgarding STILL..!! doesn't work, init script can't start/stop server...

thanks

Some questions that occur are:

1.) What version are you upgrading from?
2.) Have you tried using apt rather than synaptic? (So yes I better have 
a play with synaptic but I cannot just now).
3.) Can you try breaking down the process so we can pinpoint more 
exactly where the issue is. Remove the reverse dependency packages for a 
start, stopping the server manually and so on.
4.) I assume you can start/stop the server normally?
5.) Looking at the attached files it seems that you are upgrading from a 
version where innodb is a plugin and that the errors appear to be in 
that area, to one where it is built in. Any relevant information would 
appreciated.
6.) The phrase "STILL..!!" seems to imply something. However I am 
missing that implication. Please elaborate.
