Package: mysql-server-5.0 Version: 5.0.38-1 Severity: normal The problem occured today, on upgrading to whatever was recently uploaded to unstable.
Most of the use of mysql on this site, is other debian packages. I do very little with it outside of that. (good intentions) At the time the upgrade occured, the package mysql-server was in 'rc' state. When looking at the instructions in the log file, it talked about a need to start mysqld with --skip-grant. Mysqld was running. I presume this is one of the effects of the now purged mysql-server package. With the purging of the package, mysqld was no longer running. Doing a show tables; as suggested by the notes in the log files, shows that there are no tables that have 'grant' as part of the table name. (This was also true before purging mysql-server.) There is a suggestion about checking a log file in /var/lib/mysql. That file is binary, how do you check it? I think that is it for now. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages mysql-server-5.0 depends on: ii adduser 3.102 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.13 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbi-perl 1.54-1 Perl5 database interface by Tim Bu ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-21 GCC support library ii libmysqlclient15off 5.0.38-1 mysql database client library ii libncurses5 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline5 5.2-2 GNU readline and history libraries ii libstdc++6 4.1.1-21 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-13 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii lsb-base 3.1-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii mysql-client-5.0 5.0.38-1 mysql database client binaries ii mysql-common 5.0.38-1 mysql database common files (e.g. ii passwd 1:4.0.18.1-7 change and administer password and ii perl 5.8.8-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii psmisc 22.3-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime Versions of packages mysql-server-5.0 recommends: ii mailx 1:8.1.2-0.20050715cvs-1 A simple mail user agent -- debconf information: mysql-server-5.0/really_downgrade: false mysql-server-5.0/nis_warning: mysql-server-5.0/postrm_remove_databases: false mysql-server-5.0/no_upgrade_with_isam_tables: mysql-server/error_setting_password: mysql-server-5.0/mysql_update_hints1: mysql-server-5.0/need_sarge_compat_done: true mysql-server-5.0/start_on_boot: true * mysql-server-5.0/mysql_install_db_notes: mysql-server-5.0/need_sarge_compat: false -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
