Package: mysql-client Version: 5.5.24-1~dotdeb.1 Severity: important The mysql client fails to run on a system where mysql-server is not installed. This is because the mysql client reads /etc/mysql/my.cnf, which contains a directive to read /etc/mysql/conf.d/:
!includedir /etc/mysql/conf.d/ However, this directory is not created by mysql-client. Only by mysql-server (I assume). The client errors with: # mysql mysql: Can't read dir of '/etc/mysql/conf.d/' (Errcode: 2) Fatal error in defaults handling. Program aborted The solution is to either create the directory /etc/mysql/conf.d or comment out the include directive. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages mysql-client depends on: ii mysql-client-5.5 5.5.24-1~dotdeb.1 MySQL database client binaries mysql-client recommends no packages. mysql-client suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
