Package: phpbb2-conf-mysql
Version: 2.0.13-2
Severity: important

Hello!

I just tried to install phpbb2 with the help of phpbb2-conf-mysql, but
the configuration process aborts with the following message:

  You need to have mysql-server installed if you want the MySQL
          database to be hosted locally. Aborting.

This is due to line 40 in phpbb2-conf-mysql's postinst script:

  if [ "$dbserver" = localhost ] && ! [ -e /usr/share/doc/mysql-server ];

I have mysql-server-4.1 installed, which has its documentation in
/usr/share/doc/mysql-server-4.1.  If I add -4.1 to the above line the
configuration completes without further problems.

I suggest you to test for /usr/sbin/mysqld instead, which should be
safer.  I'm not including a patch since the change is so trivial, but I
can of course provide one, should you so prefer.

Regards

Diego Biurrun
