mysql server runs but reports error in tables

[SeTh]

I am wanting to set a test lab in Kali but am having the following issue with mysql.

I have attempted to fix the issue with no success. I have looked for other fixes but have had no luck and was hoping someone out there could assist.

root@PrImE:~/Desktop# service mysql start
[ ok ] Starting MySQL database server: mysqld ..
[info] Checking for tables which need an upgrade, are corrupt or were
not closed cleanly..


I purged mysql-server-5.5 and removed /var/lib/mysql/:

dpkg -P --force-all mysql-common mysql-client-5.5 mysql-server-5.5
mv /var/lib/mysql /tmp/
apt-get install mysql-common mysql-client-5.5 mysql-server-5.5

root@PrImE:~/Desktop# service mysql start
[ ok ] Starting MySQL database server: mysqld ..

As far as I know, its only checking for errors - its not found any/fixing anything.
So its working normally?

It happens when there is any corruption takes place to tables of MySQL database. To fix this issue you need to read this blog - Repairing MySQL Database When the Table Gets Crashed and follow the instruction.
