dpkg：invoke-rc.d：initscript mysql，动作“开始”失败

Question

我在这里阅读了许多帖子，它们都声明要运行以下命令：

1. apt-get -f 删除* *
2. apt-get 更新
3. apt-get 升级
4. apt-get -f 安装* *

我已经以各种顺序等看过这些，但没有一个能解决我的问题。无论我尝试什么，我都会得到：

在过去的一周里，我尝试了几件事，但无法解决这个问题，任何帮助将不胜感激。我确实注意到了这条消息：

包 mysql-server-5.5 尚未配置。

而且我还没有完成这个配置，所以我正在这方面工作。任何其他帮助将不胜感激。

Titanicx 的解决方案对我有用。冉

dpkg -S etc/mysql

看到 mysql-common 是问题所在。完全删除 MySQL：

sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
