[debian-mysql] Bug#687689: mysql-server-core-5.5: Service won't start...

[Manuel Bilderbeek]

Package: mysql-server-core-5.5
Version: 5.5.24+dfsg-8
Followup-For: Bug #687689

Even after installing mysql-client-5.5, it doesn't start:

Sep 15 10:57:39 sonata /etc/init.d/mysql[16423]: 0 processes alive and '/usr/bin/mysqladmin --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf ping' resulted in
Sep 15 10:57:39 sonata /etc/init.d/mysql[16423]: #007/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
Sep 15 10:57:39 sonata /etc/init.d/mysql[16423]: error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)'
Sep 15 10:57:39 sonata /etc/init.d/mysql[16423]: Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists!
Sep 15 10:57:39 sonata /etc/init.d/mysql[16423]: 

Is it totally broken??
