It turns out that the mysql web page advise is bogus, I had to scroll down
through the newer comments quite a ways and found another method, and that
worked. So mysql is up and running.
However, I think removing about 30 assorted kde & qt packages to get rid of
mysql is a pretty long reach. Needless to say, I canceled that operation.
