[Bug 573318] Re: mysql server will not start

[1longtime]

Hey, not sure why this issue is closed... I don't recall copying a
"my.cnf" by hand during previous MySQL installations, why is it required
now?

I had MySQL installed via the package at one point, performed a Complete
Remove, and then later performed Install again (all via Synaptic).  I
had the same issue with the MySQL service failing to start until I
manually copied the "my.cnf" into /etc/mysql/

Failing to properly install after complete removal/re-installation seems
like a bug to me.  Am I missing something?
