[debian-mysql] Bug#614320: Bug#614320: Error when installing

[Gabriel Filion]

I'm seeing the exact same behaviour in a brand new Xen domU installed
with xen-create-image.

I installed mysql with 'apt-get install mysql-server'

I tried purging mysql-server* and wiping out database files with "rm -rf
/var/lib/mysql", but the install after that didn't do much better.

syslog shows exactly the same contents as was reported by Flavio. so,
there's something about a syntax error before 'ALTER TABLE ...', then IP
bind problems, and then an error about a "plugin" table already
existing, and then 'mysqladmin ... ping' fails.
