Package: mysql-server-5.0 Version: 5.0.45-1 Followup-For: Bug #349661
I also had a problem after making a clean install of package mysql-server-5.0. I found out that it is because the installation script doesn't create the /etc/mysql/conf.d directory and the file /etc/mysql/my.cnf. I solved the problem by creating those necessary files before installing the package (I already had a valid 'my.cnf' file): # mkdir -p /etc/mysql/conf.d # cp my.cnf.backup /etc/mysql/my.cnf # apt-get install mysql-server-5.0 And then it worked. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages mysql-server-5.0 depends on: ii adduser 3.105 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.14 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.6.1-1+b1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbi-perl 1.59-1 Perl5 database interface by Tim Bu ii libgcc1 1:4.2.1-4 GCC support library ii libmysqlclient15off 5.0.45-1 MySQL database client library ii libncurses5 5.6+20070908-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline5 5.2-3 GNU readline and history libraries ii libstdc++6 4.2.1-4 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-14 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii lsb-base 3.1-24 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii mysql-client-5.0 5.0.45-1 MySQL database client binaries ii mysql-common 5.0.45-1 MySQL database common files ii passwd 1:4.0.18.1-11 change and administer password and ii perl 5.8.8-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii psmisc 22.5-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-5 compression library - runtime Versions of packages mysql-server-5.0 recommends: ii mailx 1:8.1.2-0.20070424cvs-1 A simple mail user agent -- debconf information: mysql-server-5.0/really_downgrade: false mysql-server-5.0/start_on_boot: true mysql-server-5.0/nis_warning: mysql-server-5.0/postrm_remove_databases: false * mysql-server-5.0/need_sarge_compat: false mysql-server/error_setting_password: mysql-server-5.0/need_sarge_compat_done: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
