MySQL 5.5.7->5.5.8 Gotcha!

[Odhiambo Washington]

I am seeing a problem I am unable to solve after upgrading from 5.5.7 ->
5.5.8.
I am installing Request Tracket and I get the following error (which is in
no way related to RT, I think):

<cut>
Character set 'latin1' is not a compiled character set and is not specified
in the '/usr/local/share/mysql/charsets/Index.xml' file
Failed to connect to dbi:mysql:;host=localhost as user 'root': Can't
initialize character set latin1 (path: /usr/local/share/mysql/charsets/)***
Error code 255
</cut>

The Index.xml lists latin1 character set and even the file containing the
charsets is there. I still don't think I should downgrade, but google isn't
helping me much!
