Comment 1 for bug 1284208

It's a known issue due to a bug in QEMU. When we generate the rootfs, we bootstrap on a non-native host (x86) and use QEMU during the second-stage. Mysql postinst script randomly fails and leave the package not installed properly.

Since it's random, it doesn't happen on all the server rootfs generated. On the broken image, we might be able to reconfigure the package afterward but it isn't acceptable.

The best solution is to fix QEMU but it isn't easy due to the randomness of the bug.

Clark, the latest server image (build #647) should have passed the postinst script properly. You might want to stick to this build.
