I was able to complete installation eventually.
Reboot was required.
Package removals, re-installations, killall -9 stop,
total removal of /var/lib/mysql.
Sorry for the lack of detailed notes.
Problems seemed to happen more when re-installing when /var/lib/mysql
was already present.

Same hang here. Installation is hung.
