Package: mysql-server-5.5 Version: 5.5.52-0+deb8u1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The problem didn't happen on all systems and I'm not sure what exactly is going wrong. During a apt-get upgrade run MySQL failed to upgrade.. Some weird stuff: syslog: mysqld_safe[22411]: 160918 10:22:05 [Note] /usr/sbin/mysqld (mysqld 5.5.52-0+deb7u1-log) starting as process 22431 ... mysqld_safe[22411]: 160918 10:22:05 [Note] /usr/sbin/mysqld (mysqld 5.5.52-0+deb7u1-log) starting as process 22445 ... Why is it trying to start twice as two different processes? mysqld_safe[22580]: ERROR: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ALTER TABLE user ADD column Show_view_priv enum('N','Y') CHARACTER SET utf8 NOT ' at line 1 mysqld_safe[22580]: 160918 10:22:08 [ERROR] Aborting mysqld_safe[13729]: ERROR: 1050 Table 'plugin' already exists I now ran MySQL manually by executing mysqld but I'd like to solve this properly.
