MariaDB upgrade issues

Hi,

I'm having some problems upgrading from MariaDB-5.3.6 to latest MariaDB-5.5 on Ubuntu 10.10.

Does anyone have possible solutions as to what the issue might be?

Below output from terminal:

This looks like an error in the package script. There are post-install errors. Can you please file a bug? Thanks
