Package: mysql-server-5.0 Version: 5.0.20a-2 Severity: important Hi,
the mysql_upgrade script only gives --user and --password to mysql_fix_privilege_tables when it is run for the first time after an upgrade. On the following mysql-starts the CHECK_FILE is found and read and thus the following part is executed: if test -f $CHECK_FILE -a $force = 0 then version=`cat $CHECK_FILE` if test "$version" = "5.0" then if test $verbose = 1 then echo "mysql_upgrade already done for this version" fi $bindir/mysql_fix_privilege_tables $args exit 0 fi fi However $args doesn't include the auth-info and thus mysql_fix_privilege_tables fails. Also I think mysql_fix_privilege_tables should use a similar method to be run only once during upgrade. According to the script comments/output it should not be needed to run it on every mysql start.
