It is running these commands:

  getent group mysql >/dev/null 2>&1 || groupadd -g 89 mysql
  getent passwd mysql >/dev/null 2>&1 || useradd -u 89 -g mysql -d /var/lib/mysql -s /bin/false mysql
  chown -R mysql:mysql var/lib/mysql &> /dev/null

Run them manually to see which on is failing.

No errors for the first two lines.
That last line has me curious: var/lib/mysql
No leading slash and I have no /var/lib/mysql

Open a bug report. The last line does not make sense; I don't have that dir either.

I'm fairly sure the leading / is not necessary... looking at other install files, there is mostly no leading slash and only a few with it.
