On Ubuntu 12.04. This is a very old utility AWS server that has always run reliably. Today I notice that MySQL isn't running. I did a reboot just to be "clean". When I try and issue:
/etc/init.d/mysql start >/dev/null 2>&1 &
I get:
[1] 10836
Not sure what this means. I notice that there is a pending software update for w3m and so I use
apt-get -y install w3m ..
and get
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mysql-server-5.5:
mysql-server-5.5 depends on mysql-server-core-5.5 (= 5.5.46-0ubuntu0.12.04.2); however:

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mysql-server-5.5 : Depends: mysql-server-core-5.5 (= 5.5.46-0ubuntu0.12.04.2) but 5.5.54-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
I've tried googling this issue and these results but see no solutions. I've checked the MySQL error logs, and they are all zero bytes.
What's up?
does updating the system help ie.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgradeit looks like the version mysql-server-core-5.5 it needs 5.5.46-0ubuntu0.12.04.2 is not the one it thinks is available 5.5.54-0ubuntu0.12.04.1
a system update may help satisfy the dependencies. cheers,
