[resolved] Can not install mysql

Question

Oooops, I fixed it. Somehow /tmp had wrong permissions..
Hello,
after an upgrade my mysql dameon did not work anymore so I did what https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=889846 says and removed all configs and removed it.
Now pacman -S mysql gives my this
# pacman -S mysql

110503 9:20:58 [Note] /usr/bin/mysqld: Shutdown complete
Installation of system tables failed! Examine the logs in
/var/lib/mysql for more information.
You can try to start the mysqld daemon with:
shell> /usr/bin/mysqld --skip-grant &
and use the command line tool /usr/bin/mysql
to connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables:
shell> /usr/bin/mysql -u root mysql
mysql> show tables
Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --log
gives you a log in /var/lib/mysql that may be helpful.
Please consult the MySQL manual section
'Problems running mysql_install_db', and the manual section that
describes problems on your OS. Another information source are the
MySQL email archives available at http://lists.mysql.com/.
Please check all of the above before mailing us! And remember, if
you do mail us, you MUST use the /usr/scripts/mysqlbug script!

5 # other programs (such as a web server)

7 # MySQL programs look for option files in a set of
8 # locations which depend on the deployment platform.
9 # You can copy this option file to one of those
10 # locations. For information about these locations, see:
11 # http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/option-files.html
12 #
13 # In this file, you can use all long options that a program supports.

15 # with the "--help" option.

60 # Replication Slave (comment out master section to use this)
61 #
62 # To configure this host as a replication slave, you can choose between
63 # two methods :
64 #
65 # 1) Use the CHANGE MASTER TO command (fully described in our manual) -
66 # the syntax is:
67 #
68 # CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST=<host>, MASTER_PORT=<port>,
69 # MASTER_USER=<user>, MASTER_PASSWORD=<password> ;
70 #
71 # where you replace <host>, <user>, <password> by quoted strings and
72 # <port> by the master's port number (3306 by default).
73 #
74 # Example:
75 #
76 # CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST='125.564.12.1', MASTER_PORT=3306,
77 # MASTER_USER='joe', MASTER_PASSWORD='secret';
78 #
79 # OR
80 #
81 # 2) Set the variables below. However, in case you choose this method, then
82 # start replication for the first time (even unsuccessfully, for example
83 # if you mistyped the password in master-password and the slave fails to
84 # connect), the slave will create a master.info file, and any later
85 # change in this file to the variables' values below will be ignored and
86 # overridden by the content of the master.info file, unless you shutdown
87 # the slave server, delete master.info and restart the slaver server.
88 # For that reason, you may want to leave the lines below untouched
89 # (commented) and instead use CHANGE MASTER TO (see above)
90 #
91 # required unique id between 2 and 2^32 - 1
92 # (and different from the master)
93 # defaults to 2 if master-host is set
94 # but will not function as a slave if omitted
95 #server-id = 2
96 #
97 # The replication master for this slave - required
98 #master-host = <hostname>
99 #
100 # The username the slave will use for authentication when connecting
101 # to the master - required
102 #master-user = <username>
103 #
104 # The password the slave will authenticate with when connecting to
105 # the master - required
106 #master-password = <password>
107 #
108 # The port the master is listening on.
109 # optional - defaults to 3306
110 #master-port = <port>
