MySQL install problem

I've been trying to figure out what was going on when I tried to
install mysql-server-5.0 on my new system (7.01 Feisty?).
I had run out of space on /var during the initial install, got around
that by moving /var onto another partition. Tried running
/etc/init.d/mysql start
but it just says [fail].
After much searching found the output was in /var/log/daemon.log.
Various messages suggested that there was a duplicate key being
inserted into one of the initial database files, so I did a
apt-get --purge remove mysql-server-5.0
to get rid of all the config files, including the database files.
Reinstalled but still got an error. However, this time it comes up
with:
Oct 27 17:17:48 felix mysqld[11012]: 071027 17:17:48 InnoDB: Started; log
sequence number 0 0
Oct 27 17:17:48 felix mysqld[11012]: 071027 17:17:48 [ERROR] Can't start
server:
Bind on TCP/IP port: Cannot assign requested address
Oct 27 17:17:48 felix mysqld[11012]: 071027 17:17:48 [ERROR] Do you already
have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ?
Oct 27 17:17:48 felix mysqld[11012]: 071027 17:17:48 [ERROR] Aborting
followed by other stuff that fails, presumably as a consequence.
Ran netstat -ltp to see what might be using 3306, but nothing of relevance:
root at felix:/etc/init.d# netstat -ltp
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name

tcp 0 0 *:www *:* LISTEN 6786/apache2
tcp 0 0 localhost:2207 *:* LISTEN 4743/python
Any suggestions?
