package: mysql-server
version: debian wheezy latest mysql-server

Problem:
mysql-server did not install correctly. Asked for root database
password, but was not able to set it. Retried a lot, purged whole mysql:
apt-get purge mysql-server, mysql-common, mysql-client, apt-get autoremove,
apt-get clean
.
Also removed
rm -rf /etc/mysql
rm -rf /var/lib/mysql

I had no war relevant databases here.

--
Now I reinstalled using apt-get install
mysql-server, mysql-common, mysql-client

Also had problems with setting the root name of database.
Did it by hand mysqld -skip-auth-tables or the like using a howto on the
web.
Here it could not write to user.frm or name.frm or the like.

then I had SUCCESS:

I fixed the problem by changig the rights from root:root to see below.
(please check if the rights are too generous.)
The server is deployed in intranet and the users are inable to attack
the IT infrastructure, so the danger is low, though)

I am looking forward to see a fixed mysql-server debian package.

And BTW: THANKS FOR DEBIAN! KEEP UP DOING ALL THE GOOD WORK!
