Comment 3 for bug 627723

Thanks Serge,

I rebooted the computer fixing the package with the --configure -a as the
package manager requested.
I have managed to apply all the upgrades that the upgrade manager required
except the mysql 5.1 upgrade. And rebooted again.

I attempted to do the mysql upgrade separately. After 24 hours it still
sits at the same spot as described in the bug report.

I rebooted again, ran synaptic package manager, fixed it as usual, ran it
again then attempted to uninstall mysql, thinking that might be simpler. -
it will not let me uninstall. Yen when i attempt the upgrade it tells me it
would be better if i uninstalled it and reinstalled, which i cannot do.

I do want to keep my settings because i use mysql for some great apps like
SugarCRM, but i have so far been going in circles with the
upgrade/uninstall/reinstall.

Best regards,

Duncan
