Bueno, después de deambular mucho por internet, encontré que el problema podría ser un /etc/mysql/my.cnf corrupto, entonces moví mi  /etc/mysql/my.cnf a  /etc/mysql/my.cnf.corrupto y noté que había un /etc/mysql/debian.cnf después de comprobar que el contenido de my.cnf y debian.cnf eran lo suficientemente similares copié el debian.cnf a my.cnf y terminé la instalación sin problemas :D
