Не удается установить / запустить MySQL Server

Хорошо, я решил перейти с MySQL Server 5.5.37 на Percona Server 5.6. Я закончил тем, что удалил MySQL Server следующим образом:

sudo apt-get --purge remove mysql-server mysql-server-5.5 mysql-server-core-5.5 mysql-client mysql-client-core-5.5 mysql-common
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean

rm -rf /var/lib/mysql
rm -rf /etc/mysql

Теперь вот моя проблема: когда я пытаюсь установить MySQL Server 5.6, он проходит через свой процесс, и когда он запрашивает у меня пароль, он появляется с Невозможно установить MySQL пароль root. После «установки» MySQL не запускается, и я получаю отказано в разрешении?

У меня все базы данных / таблицы выгружены и находятся на отдельном жестком диске. Это также Dev Machine, а не моя основная производственная машина. Я также сделал резервную копию MySQL_Config и MySQL_Data.

РЕДАКТИРОВАТЬ: Мне удалось установить MySQL Server 5.6 на моем компьютере!
