The duplicate is wrong (as the owner has admitted) in the other bug.
When I said I followed the instructions I referred to the initctl reload-configuration
root@s16224997:~# initctl reload-configuration
root@s16224997:~# apt-get install mysql-server

After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
Setting up mysql-server-5.5 (5.5.22-0ubuntu1) ...
start: Job failed to start
invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing mysql-server-5.5 (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mysql-server:
mysql-server depends on mysql-server-5.5; however:
Package mysql-server-5.5 is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing mysql-server (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure. Errors were encountered while processing:
mysql-server-5.5
mysql-server
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Why doesn't the maintainer roll back to a working version while fixes this issue? I can't install in a new server running precise the mysql-server package

I even followed instructions from https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ mysql-5. 5/+bug/ 978995
and performed:
#touch /etc/apparmor. d/local/ usr.sbin. mysqld
But it still doesn't work.
