MySQL upgrade problem

[Nicole Zimmerman <colby@wsu.edu>]

I just apt-get upgrade d after about a month of not doing so (network
outages). One of the packages to upgrade was MySQL -- from version
3.22.32-4 to 3.22.32-6.

Here are the errors I get:

Configuring packages ...      
(Reading database ... 93508 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace mysql-server 3.22.32-4 (using
.../mysql-server_3.22.32-6_i386.deb) ...
I need adduser(8) from the adduser.deb package !
dpkg: error processing

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/mysql-server_3.22.32-6_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Any ideas on how I can repair this? I need MySQL.

I searched the bugs on mysql-server and didn't find anything on it.

I have adduser installed. I also have /usr/sbin in the *global*
/etc/profile. 

thanks,
