This is interesting:
Locate shows this:
[root@ftp ~]# locate mysql | less

But listing the directories will not show the same files:
[root@ftp ~]# ls -al /var/lib/mysql/mysql total 8 drwx------ 2 mysql mysql 4096 Feb 14 11:44 . drwxr-xr-x 4 mysql mysql 4096 Dec 24 13:13 .. [root@ftp ~]# ls -al /var/lib/mysql/ total 20 drwxr-xr-x 4 mysql mysql 4096 Dec 24 13:13 . drwxr-xr-x 27 root root 4096 Feb 14 11:44 .. drwx------ 2 mysql mysql 4096 Feb 14 11:44 mysql drwx------ 2 mysql mysql 4096 Feb 14 11:44 test
reboot and force fsck touch /forcefsck && shutdown -r now
The only time I have ever experienced files not being where they are suppose to be after a fresh install of a package is when the hard drive was going south.
also try
rpm --verify
on the various mysql packages
