I am trying to configure a VM server starting with the LAMP Stack appliance version 11.2. This is running on top of VirtualBox 4.1.2 on a Mac.

One of my needs is to install the package libmysqlclient-dev, so I run:

apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

It seems that that package messes up with the Appliance's configuration, and once I reboot the machine it is unusable. The file system gets corrupted. One more restart and I am not able to mount the file system anymore.

I also tried:

apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev --no-upgrade

but that didn't work either.

I have a snapshot of the VM just before installing this package and thus can reproduce the bug. I'm attaching the apt-get log just in case.

So, does the Appliance really depends on MySQL config files? Or probably I am just doing something else wrong?
