It seems as though mysql has already been installed.
The directory /var/lib/mysql has been found. For the best results, its recommended that this be deleted.
All database data will be lost if you delete it
Do you want to delete it? (y is recommended)? (y,n) : n

PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h sr5.server.com password 'new-password'
See the manual for more instructions.
NOTE: If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run
the /usr/bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables. Otherwise you will not be
able to use the new GRANT command!
Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!
