No, the root was the owner of /var/lib/mysql, kept the files after a
reinstall of ubuntu, this directory (/var/lib/ mysql) saved on my Pendrive
(backup), then moved them to this directory (again) after the reinstall,
then tried to install mysql and got this error.

Are there any /var/log/daemon.log entries from that time regarding
mysql? Have you had a version of mysql-server installed before? Perhaps
mysql-server-5.0?
** Changed in: mysql-dfsg-5.1 (Ubuntu)
