Hello,
I have for hours attempted to install Mysql in Ubuntu 12.04 last night and had no luck. Unfortunately I have no record of the exact error message I got, but I found attached log output on the net, and as far as I remember, this is as close as it gets to my problem, in particular the messages about innodb, invoke-rc.d etc ...

##################################################################################
I have tried everything up and down all the forums I could find to install, i.e.
sudo apt-get clean, autoclean, autoremove, purge, dpkg reconfigure, editing the my.cnf file etc, restarting the complete machine, in all variations and permutations. None worked, and quite a few people seem to have had the same problem. I finally got it to work, and I do not know why, but in case this might be helpful to someone, here is what I did to get it to work (pure trial and error, and admittedly completely senseless, but it works, so I do not really care):
downloaded deb packages from the mysql site. then
sudo apt-get purge mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common mysql-client-5.5 mysql-server-5.5
sudo dpkg -i mysql-5.6.9-rc-debian6.0-i686.deb
sudo dpkg -i mysql-5.5.29-debian6.0-i686.deb
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
and after the last step (and only after the last step) I had my mysql server up and running. i assume, the deb files install something right, that the apt-get installation then does not overwrite and uses. no idea, really.
if this helps 1 single person, great. just thought i share yet one more anecdotical solution to this obnoxious problem.
