I've just upgraded my 9.4 to 9.10 on my 64bit desktop PC. Shortly afterwards I noticed that MySQL had gone away. There was no mysqld running. I tried a restart to no effect. So tried an un-install and re-install with the Package Manager. This failed!
There was quite an extensive message in details, which started:-
invoke-rc.d initscript mysql, action "start" failed
dpkg: error processing mysql-server-5.1 (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent prevent configuration of mysql-server
And it goes on, but that's the essence of it. I subsequently tried a complete removal and re-install, to no avail.
I notice that /var/log/messages contains:
Apr 12 01:10:15 Mintaka kernel: [ 2538.821153] type=1505 audit(1271031015.407:259): operation="profile_replace" pid=9328 name=/usr/sbin/mysqld
Followed by many:
Apr 12 01:10:15 Mintaka kernel: [ 2538.885370] type=1503 audit(1271031015.477:260): operation="open" pid=9355 parent=9354 profile="/usr/sbin/mysqld" requested_mask="r::" denied_mask="r::" fsuid=0 ouid=0 name="/sys/devices/system/cpu/"
Which looks as though it should mean something, but is meaningless to me.
Is there anyone who can shed light on the cause of the problem and how I might rectify it.
