Remco, thanks! This has helped a bit but the problem is still there.

I checked and found that mysql-server 5.0 was installed; I tried "apt-get 
install mysql-server" and it replaced it with the latest 5.1 (and this is weird 
to me too, because I have been doing "apt-get update; apt-get upgrade" all day 
and it says 0 packages need to be updated ... I thought that meant that I'm 
running all the latest stuff!).

Ok, that seemed to work. My Wordpress came back, but then phpmyadmin freaked 
out about a user account that did not have a password. I logged into mysql as 
root and gave that user a password. Then I was able to log into phpmyadmin and 
access that database. Yay!

But, get this ... now I go back to the Wordpress install, and get this again:

Error establishing a database connection

What in the world is going on?!

I also notice that the /var/log/mysql* files are still all blank. Shouldn't 
they be writing some info?

So Remco, thanks for getting me at least halfway there! Now to get the rest of 
this stuff figured out before Debian 7.0 comes out!
