That was one of the first things I tried but it didn't work out, it leads to
more problems.

That was a brilliant suggestion. I knew about "dpkg -S" but somehow I assumed
that everything related to mysql-server was removed when I purged it. Not so.
mysql-common was left over as some other packages depended on it and that was
causing the problem. Purging mysql-common (and the dependent packages) and then
reinstalling resolved the issue.
Thanks a lot for your help.
