Description:
Every time I try to install MySQL with 'sudo apt-get install mysql-server', it freezes on a trigger. I have tried 5 or 6 times with new images. I have tried letting it run for a day. I am using the RASPBIAN 3.12.18+ #680 version on a Raspberry Pi(armv6l). Is it safe to just ctrl-c? what should I do?

I first got this stuck on Sunday May 4th trying to update MySQL. I have asked at raspberry pi forum and someone else said that it is happening to him too (http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=76742).

How to repeat:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server

pi@mcattila ~ $ sudo apt-get install mysql-server

Suggested fix:
Some thing at 'Processing triggers for menu ...' is making it impossible to install.

I still try to install but I still can not install, update, or uninstall/purge. I need MySQL for my website and I can not host my site now.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/ and the instructions on
how to report a bug at http://bugs.mysql.com/how-to-report.php

Unfortunately we do not support Raspberry PI. You should work with their package maintainers. You can try to install our binaries, available from dev.mysql.com/downloads, though. Try "generic Linux" binaries.
