I've also seen this happen if the 'debian-sys-maint' mysql account gets
removed or the password changed.
/etc/mysql/debian.cnf
Also assumed you changed the 'root' password back to what it was and tried to
reinstall mysql-server-5.0? Do you have a viable database running? If not
then you could just purge the package and reinstall it. That's kind of
draculin but it's fast. :) Bottom line is 'mysql-server-5.0' is in jacked
state and needs to install correctly or be removed.
You can look at the:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.0.postinst
... script and see what it's trying to do. And of course do what Mike
said ... check the /var/log/mysql* files for clues.

Richard
