Apparently what had solved my problem is the following:
1925 sudo apt-get purge mysql-server mysql-client 2029 sudo deluser mysql 2030 sudo delgroup mysql 2031 sudo rm -rf /var/log/mysql/ 2033 sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client
Which seems to me that the install procedure does not like that it had the user and group before from previous version.
