RE: Problem installing MySQL-Server; dpkg not helpful
I could never figure out what caused the problem, but the purge fixed it. I
was able to install from scratch after that successfully. I guess there was
a gremlin in there.
Thank you much,
Mike

It's unlikely to cause a problem. Next time you do an 'apt-get install'
of something, any packages already installed on the system that are
marked as unconfigured will get hit with 'dpkg --configure' as part of
the installation process.
You can manually invoke dpkg now to re-run the mysql-server postinst
script with 'dpkg --configure --pending'. It will probably succeed and
mark the package as being fully installed and configured.
If you're interested in tracking down the original problem, you might
like to remove mysql-server with 'dpkg --purge mysql-server' and try
installing it again to see what happens.
Andrew.
