我想我知道自己在 Unix shell 中做什么但可能不知道。
我在 MySQL 的配置文件中犯了一个错误，所以我决定卸载它然后重新安装它，所以我这样做了：
sudo apt-get --purge remove mysql-server mysql-server-5.0 mysql-client
文件被删除了，所以我尝试安装它，但它没有要求我输入 root 密码或其他任何东西，所以我再次使用上述命令卸载它，然后
sudo rm -rf /etc/mysql
sudo rm /etc/init.d/mysql
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/mysql*
然后我重新启动了计算机，然后再次安装它：
sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client
它要求输入 root 密码，一切看起来都正常，直到我看到这个：
$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client

非常感谢所有帮助 — 谢谢！

哎呀！有什么建议吗？
答案1
dpkg 无法执行配置脚本。这是 Linux-VServer 的问题。
使用 exec 选项重新挂载 /tmp。
