 doing a **fresh installation** of WordPress ver 5.5.2
 the classic "installer wizard" doesn't start and WP show the following
 message

 {{{
 One or more database tables are unavailable. The database may need to be
 repaired.
 }}}


 Being the first step of a fresh install obviously the DB has nothing to do
 with the problem, since at this step WP doesn't know anything about the
 DB.

 Server info:

 {{{
 PHP Version 7.4.7
 mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.32, for Linux (x86_64) using  EditLine
 wrapper
 nginx version: nginx/1.15.8
 }}}

 the server hosts many other WP sites, but this is the first fresh
 installation of the new 5.5.2, so it's probably related to some regression
 introduced with the new release
