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

[Nicholas Bamber]

Manuel,
	Please give us the output of

1.) ps -ef | grep mysql

2.) dpkg -l mysql-server-5.5

To be quite frank if you had to install mysql-client-5.5 manually then
you cannot have installed mysql-server-5.5. And in the latter case you
just have the binaries without the scripts to start the server. However
I will reserve judgement till I see the answers to 1, and 2.
