You mean the files exist, but are 0 length? I wonder what created
them. Maybe the debian post-install scripts. Would the mysql user be
able to write to those files & directories, or are they owned by root
or some other user?
It looks like you have all binaries & libraries installed, but some
post-installation tasks have failed to complete. You might try
starting mysql yourself, and see if that gives you any more clues
about what's wrong.
