I have a screwed install of MySql Server on my Machine its a 10.04 64-bit Ubuntu.

I can neither Remove it or Install a new one.

I tried apt-get remove

and

dpkg --purge mysql-server-5.1

They both reach

dpkg --purge mysql-server-5.1

and stay stuck there.

Can anyone please help me completely remove the Package for a fresh install.

I installed the community managed version of MySql Server btw.

why you dont not use synapti for this ???
