[更新]这是由于模板不好
这可能是由几个不同的东西造成的，文件/目录权限是一个，mysql版本/操作系统不匹配，或者只是包错误。 很难分辨你打的是哪一个。 你可以select直接从mysql下载或percona直接使用这些包，这些包通常更容易安装。
如果您可以find这个二进制文件，请尝试运行以下命令：
mysql_install_db –user = mysql – 无默认值
这可能会解决的问题。 否则，请尝试使您的操作系统保持最新，清除mysql包，然后重新安装。
我在新安装的Ubuntu 12.04 x86-64服务器上运行apt-get install mysql-server命令，并成功安装mysql-server。
看起来像你的Ubuntu安装有问题。 我build议重新安装或尝试从源代码安装MySQL。
清除mysql-common并尝试再次安装mysql-server：
apt-get purge mysql-common apt-get install mysql-server
