Finally, I got it working.
Reinstalled all mysql-packages (yes, all), postinst still failed.
I then ran mysql_install_db after I manually created the
/var/lib/mysql/mysql with perm mysql.mysql. THEN I was able to run
mysql again (puhh). Oh, and before that, I had to comment skip-network
in /etc/mysql/my.conf.
Thanks for your help!
