phpmyadmin can't be configured because need a msysql-server configured and running without issues, if you see your dpkg output, you can see that mysql-server is not correctly configured or something happened in initscript. Did you tried to reinstall mysql or was a fresh install of this? You should purge mysql-server package and install again (don't forget to run an apt-get update before).

For some reason mysql-server didn't want to install correctly. The system
was under heavy stress while installing that package. I tried to reinstall
mysql-server and that succeeded as it did for phpmyadmin as well. Seems to
be a weird bug when the system is under heavy load.

According to the log file:

Setting up mysql-server-5.0 (5.1.30really5.0.75-0ubuntu10.2) ...

 * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld

invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed.

^Cdpkg: error processing mysql-server-5.0 (--configure):

 subprocess post-installation script killed by signal (Interrupt)

As mentioned by the reporter, the mysql-server-5.0 script was killed. Since the system was under heavy load, mysqld may have taken more time to start. The bug reporter was able to install mysql-server correctly on the system. Marking invalid.

Changed in mysql-dfsg-5.0 (Ubuntu):
