Package: mysql-server Version: 5.0.32-3 Severity: important I believe this to be the same issue as the previously resoved bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=385147 . Basically, I didn't hold my packages properly and as I had mysql-server installed, it upgraded my installed version, and the new version doesn't work at all. I'm now in a posiiton where I'm trying to abandon this machine and move to another, but can't back my databases up as, well, the mysql backup executables all crash.
I'll try downgrading to an older version, but in the eventuality that I can't convert the databases into a format that older versions can use, I'd appreciate a working version of this being available. The previous bug was fixed by: "* Disabled YaSSL x86 assembler as it was reported to crash applications like pam-mysql or proftpd-mysql which are linked against libmysqlclient on i486 and Cyrix (i586) CPUs. Closes: #385147" Just to reiterate, everything crashes for me. mysqladmin, mysqldump, mysqlcheck, the lot.
