That will sound silly, I'm sure. Here it goes.
I have a new installation of Debian Wheezy (Debian7). Instead of going with the aptitude installation of MySQL, which is now running v5.5.31, I went with the deb package from MySQL to get the latest stable version (currently 5.6.15).
After a little tweaking and adding my.cnf, it worked fine. Everything was fine. However, I wanted to use some statistics tools that rely on Perl, so I did the following
sudo aptitude install libdbi-perl
sudo aptitude install libdbd-mysql-perl
Having done this, now I get the following error when trying to start MySQL:
service mysql start
Starting MySQL
