I stop apach& mysql, run the update, dispatch-conf and then restart them

I tried it that way:
/etc/init.d/apache2 stop
/etc/init.d/mysql stop
emerge --ask --update --deep --newuse world
emerge --depclean
revdep-rebuild
/etc/init.d/mysql start
/etc/init.d/apache2 start
Still the same: databases are gone, mysql is empty. Only users
are there. This is strange: how can updating mysql from one stable
version to higher stable cause complete loss of databases???

IIRC the default my.cnf changed for the worse in Gentoo's 5.1.x ebuild.
Try making a copy of your original my.cnf and put it into place once
you've upgraded. Else you may need to modify the mysql home and data
paths in the new my.cnf to reflect where the database are actually
installed.
