When using apt-get install mysql-server, I get the following errors:

Preconfiguring packages
Use of uninitialized value in join or string at
/usr/share/perl5/Debconf/DbDriver/Stack.pm line 83, <GEN1> line 2.
Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at
/usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Format/822.pm line 72.

Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld.
ATTENTION: An error has occured. More info in /var/log/mysql/mysql.err!
.... and so it continues.

Any help would be great.
Thanks!

If you did not force dependencies (while installing another, previous
package) in some way, then it seems as if mysql package is broken: Either
buggy post-install script or buggy dependency info. I would have
investigated from the most recent package upgrade to backwards.

AFAIK it may also happen if debconf or another aspect of system, which is
used in the post-install script, gets broken for whatever reason. To
investigate such a possibility you may need to look into the post-install
script.
