Comment 3 for bug 433885

For some reason mysql-server didn't want to install correctly. The system
was under heavy stress while installing that package. I tried to reinstall
mysql-server and that succeeded as it did for phpmyadmin as well. Seems to
be a weird bug when the system is under heavy load.
