Description:
Found out that for packages below location of message files is wrong(share/mysql instead
of share/ ) that leads to problem with mysql_install_db and starting server itself. In
5.1.24 all is ok. For the same issue that was fixed some time ago see BUG#30678.

packages:
mysql-5.1.25-rc-linux-i686-glibc23.tar.gz
mysql-5.1.25-rc-linux-x86_64-glibc23.tar.gz

output:
/data0/ranger/mysql-5.1.25-rc-linux-i686-glibc23> ./scripts/mysql_install_db --basedir=.
--datadir=data/
Installing MySQL system tables...

Installation of system tables failed!  Examine the logs in
data/ for more information.

workaround:
$ cd share
$ ln -s mysql/english english

How to repeat:
- unpack mysql-5.1.25-rc-linux-i686-glibc23.tar.gz package 

 cd  mysql-5.1.25-rc-linux-i686-glibc23
 ./scripts/mysql_install_db --basedir=. --datadir=data/

or just try to start server

A bad merge caused the 5.0 version of make_binary_distribution.sh to be copied over the
5.1 version.  This results in several symptoms in the packaging - files either missing or
installed into the wrong locations.

The fix should be to revert make_binary_distribution.sh to the version before the bad
merge.

  Bug #37024: Wrong location of messagefiles
  
  make_binary_distribution.sh got clobbered by the 5.0 version during a merge.
  This caused a few packaging problems, including message files put in the wrong
  place and some missing files.  Fix is just to revert back to the 5.1 version
  from before the merge.
