Do you have the 'passwd' package installed? If so, try 'fink reinstall passwd'. If not, install it -- it's the package that creates the users needed for some packages, such as mysql.
According to the description of the 'passwd' package on the fink website:

"Revision 2 [i.e. Version 20020329-2] by dmrrsn removes the mysql user, no longer needed on 10.2."

And, indeed, installing the 'passwd' package no longer helps.

Oh yes, had forgotten about that -- Jaguar installs a mysql user of its own. What happened then was probably that you deleted that user earlier, which thus is what's causing your problem. You should have a mysql user with the following data:

[oscar:~] irray% nidump -r /users/mysql /
{
"_writers_passwd" = ( "mysql" );
"change" = ( "0" );
"class" = ( "" );
"expire" = ( "0" );
"gid" = ( "251" );
"home" = ( "/dev/null" );
"name" = ( "mysql" );
"passwd" = ( "*" );
"realname" = ( "MySQL Database Server" );
"shell" = ( "/dev/null" );
"uid" = ( "251" );
}

and a group that looks like this:

[oscar:~] irray% nidump -r /groups/mysql /
{
"gid" = ( "251" );
"name" = ( "mysql" );
"passwd" = ( "*" );
"users" = ( );
}

Recreate those and that will probably help.
