mysql installation error: dpkg: error processing package mysql-server-5.5 (--configure):

IMPORTANT NOTE

AFTER PURGING AND REMOVING MYSQL. RESTART THE MACHINE.

I REPEAT “RESTART THE MACHINE”

RESTART IS THE FINAL SOLUTION. I have spent sleepless nights figuring why it’s not solving.

same problem here

Thank you CrypticDesigns. I went through purging, removing, and cleaning multiple times before and after dist-upgrade. It didn’t work for me. Any other suggestion/ solution will be appreciated…

I am not sure if it will work, but try this. First you need to uninstall anything that is related to mysql:

sudo apt-get purge mysql*
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean

Then the important bit, this error could be caused because your distribution is not upgraded recently, or at least conflicts are not resolved properly. So next thing is to upgrade it like you did before but without removing first:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Now after this is done, you can try to install mysql as normal again. Hope this will work, please give a report. If it doesnt work we’ll try another fix.
