More info:
mysql_install_db does not seem to be running from the postinst script.
When I run this manually, it succeeds. I think it is failing to run
because I have no syslog.

ERR_LOGGER="logger -p daemon.err -t mysqld_safe -i"
bash /usr/bin/mysql_install_db --user mysql --rpm 2>&1 | $ERR_LOGGER

I find it strange, because logger does not fail even if there is no
syslog daemon.

I was wondering why the command is prefixed with "bash". That doesn't
seem to work
test.sh:
#!/bin/bash
bash /bin/date

#./test.sh
/bin/date: /bin/date: cannot execute binary file

The strange thing is it works when there is a syslog daemon installed.

Any ideas?
