[debian-mysql] Bug#686803: Bug#686803: upgrade from 5.5.24+dfsg-4 to 5.5.24+dfsg-7 failed: "dependency problems - leaving unconfigured"

Thu Sep 6 19:18:42 UTC 2012

Wookey,
	I would try apt-get -f install and then apt-get upgrade. I suspect that
this is the same as #685072 and I will merge in due course unless
something turns up. I thought I could reproduce the issue but I had
played with apt-get -f install I was no longer able to reproduce it.
I'll have another go at reproducing it and try to reason through the
issue focussing on "*-core".
