thanks for the reply. I do not really know to do this but lets try it on 
mysql-server-5.5.postinst:

       set +e

       if [ "$?" != "0" ]; then
         echo "ATTENTION: An error has occured. More info is in the syslog!"
       fi

       fi



i think this will do it as the issue is the installdb script running as 
root.
