This is Ubuntu:

# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
Release:        14.04
Codename:       trusty
#

How to repeat:
In a fresh Ubuntu installation, just run as root:

# dpkg -i /home/ecas/mysql-utilities_1.6.1-1ubuntu14.04_all.deb 

Suggested fix:
Modify the .deb package to create the /usr/share/pyshared/mysql directory.
