I ran apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade and since then I can't install or use mysql.
start: Job failed to start
invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing mysql-server-5.5 (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mysql-server:
mysql-server depends on mysql-server-5.5; however:
Package mysql-server-5.5 is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing mysql-server (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Processing triggers for libc-bin ...
No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
Errors were encountered while processing:
mysql-server-5.5
mysql-server
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I've tried to completeley remove it by apt.get purge mysql-server and rebooted. However when I reinstall it I get the exact same error.
eg. see commands in http://askubuntu.com/questions/384234/e-mysql-server-5-5-installation-error
which all were no help
mysql log directory is empty.
What could be the issue?
