Drupal 6 package crashed when installing or upgrading

Binary package hint: drupal6

Problem occurred when installing Drupal 6 from a clean install (no apache2, mysql installed yet)

When configuring everything, drupal config asks for mysql info. Since mysql was not yet installed (but was in the queue when installing drupal6), it could not yet start the mysql server and begin with the creation of tables for drupal.
