Package: mysql-server-4.1 Version: 4.1.14-6 Severity: important
The fact that I don't see anyone else having this problem leads me to believe I must be doing something obviously wrong, but I'm not seeing it. Upgrading to mysql-server-4.1 has broken imp3 which relied on php4-mysql. Now, arguably php4-mysql should be recompiled against a newer libmysqlclient, but the suggested workaround of adding old_passwords = 1 to my.cnf doesn't seem to be helping. I still get this in mysql.log when it tries to connect: 051017 18:09:59 5 Connect Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client I'm attaching my my.cnf although it's mostly stock. I've verified that I have indeed stopped and restarted mysql. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages mysql-server-4.1 depends on: ii adduser 3.67.2 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf 1.4.58 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.5-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdbi-perl 1.48-2 Perl5 database interface by Tim Bu ii libgcc1 1:4.0.2-2 GCC support library ii libmysqlclient14 4.1.14-6 mysql database client library ii libncurses5 5.5-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline5 5.0-11 GNU readline and history libraries ii libstdc++6 4.0.2-2 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-8 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii mailx 1:8.1.2-0.20050715cvs-1 A simple mail user agent ii mysql-client-4.1 4.1.14-6 mysql database client binaries ii mysql-common 5.0.13rc-1 mysql database common files (e.g. ii passwd 1:4.0.13-1 change and administer password and ii perl 5.8.7-6 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii psmisc 21.6-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-4 compression library - runtime mysql-server-4.1 recommends no packages. -- debconf information: mysql-server-4.1/start_on_boot: true mysql-server-4.1/postrm_remove_databases: false mysql-server-4.1/really_downgrade: false mysql-server-4.1/nis_warning: * mysql-server-4.1/mysql_install_db_notes: mysql-server-4.1/mysql_update_hints1:
