Is this really not a critical bug? Has anyone tried to install mysql-server immediately after a fresh install? Does it work?

I just installed 9.10 desktop 64 bit onto bare metal. Fresh install with no upgrade involved (reformatted drives that used to have an 8.04 system installed). I've installed maybe 5 or 10 packages, but haven't done any sort of manual file tweaking. The system is pretty much a fresh install.

I get the exact same problems as reported above, but none of the posted solutions are working for me.

I must have mysql installed for my application development and this is causing serious problems. What can I do to get mysql running? I'm about to download and install from source.

Thanks,
Tauren
