I don't know. Reproducing an error that only occurs after a system
upgrade take some more time than reproducing something that occurs at
a click in a GUI application :)

As I wrote - the problem is caused by a security update.

I have no time to check that now(maybe sometime these days), but I
guess it can be reproduced like that:

* install Ubuntu 8.04 from an old cd - and do NOT include the apt
repository for security updates
* install the mysql-server-5.0 package
* check if the is a directory /etc/mysql/conf.d - it should NOT be
there - if it is there, the error will not be reproducable, and this
directory has been deleted from my system for some strange reason
* check that the mysql daemon is running
* add the apt repository for security updates
* run an upgrade
* restart the system and/or try to restart the mysql daemon

Hope that helps
