Probably not, but I'd try:

     dpkg -l mysql-server mysql-server-5.5

It returns the following on my 12.04 ubuntu host:

     http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=mV0DTWES

If the 2 lines don't start with "ii", then I'd try to install it again
and pastebin the failure messages.

Also, note that earlier you removed apparmor and if you look in the pre-start
script (in /etc/init/mysqld.conf) you'll see:

     /lib/init/apparmor-profile-load usr.sbin.mysqld

So, I'd guess that at that point the daemon would never start.
