Bug Description
We get a fair amount of installation failures due to issues with the contents of /etc/mysql, such as /etc/mysql/
The most common cause seems to be deleting /etc/mysql after removing (not purging) packages, resulting in files not being rewritten there when trying to install.
The workaround is to run apt-get purge mysql-common to clear out the conffiles properly, then reinstall.
