Redmine

hello,
I am trying to install Redmine on Ubuntu 12.0.4.

I moved along nicely following the below instructions on the Redmine site:

Installing the latest Redmine

The package with Ubuntu 10.04 is stuck in the 0.9.x branch and Ubuntu 12.04 is stuck in the 1.3.x branch. A PPA exists that has the latest branch here: https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/redmine

To install redmine using the PPA:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/redmine
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install redmine redmine-mysql
Then I hit an error towards the end of the execution of the last command above. I Googled to find a fix for the error but could not find any. So, I located all redmine folders installed until then, removed mysql empty db 'redmine' and the associated user. Now, I am trying to reinstall Redmine using the last command above, but keep getting the following error.

root@hrrankdev1:~# apt-get install redmine redmine-mysql

dpkg: error processing redmine (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

redmine
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I think I am way beyond fixing the original error. All I am looking for is to remove all traces of previous aborted installation and install it afresh. Any suggestions on how to proceed to successfully install is appreciated.
best regards
