It's a desktop system. I had removed my /etc/network/interfaces because my knetworkmanager was stuck in manual mode. Guess what, knetworkmanager hadn't created a loopback device. When I recreated /etc/network/interfaces, I had loopback again and the mysql problems where gone. But now knetworkmanager is stuck in manual mode again. So this is NOT a mysql bug, it is related to knetworkmanager buggering up.
