Which means that you've deleted the subdirectory that was contained in the
mysql-server package.  This has been discussed repeatedly on lists, and is
not really supported at present by many packages -- and not RC for sarge.
If your /var/run is on an in-memory filesystem, you'll have to do some extra
work to make sarge play nicely with it.
