The upgrade process gets totally stuck at the following task:<code>Preparing to replace mysql-server-5.1 5.1.66-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 (using …/mysql-server-5.1_5.1.66-0ubuntu0.10.04.2_i386.deb) …mysql stop/waiting</code>The process that got again stuck in some eternal loop (or whatever) is an egrep replacement of some textfile:<code>egrep -qi -r ^[^#]*ndb.connectstring|^[:space:]*\[[:space:]*ndb_mgmd /etc/mysql/</code>I just killed that process and the upgrade resumes as nothing would have happened.</p>
