Package: mysql-server Version: 4.0.24-5 Severity: important Whilst uprading, the mysql-server package appears to have removed my /var/lib/mysql and replaced it with a fresh, empty directory.
The original /var/lib/mysql was a symlink to another location on the system and no actual data was lost. Removing the new directory and replacing the symlink solved the issue. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10 Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages mysql-server depends on: ii adduser 3.63 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf 1.4.30.13 Debian configuration management sy ii gawk 1:3.1.4-2 GNU awk, a pattern scanning and pr ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-21 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdbi-perl 1.46-6 Perl5 database interface by Tim Bu ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-12 GCC support library ii libmysqlclient12 4.0.24-5 mysql database client library ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-12 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-8 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii mailx 1:8.1.2-0.20040524cvs-4 A simple mail user agent ii mysql-client 4.0.24-5 mysql database client binaries ii mysql-common 4.0.24-5 mysql database common files (e.g. ii passwd 1:4.0.3-31sarge3 change and administer password and ii perl 5.8.4-8 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii psmisc 21.5-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime -- debconf information: mysql-server/really_downgrade_from_41: false * mysql-server/start_on_boot: true mysql-server/postrm_remove_databases: false * mysql-server/mysql_install_db_notes: mysql-server/nis_warning: mysql-server/mysql_update_hints1: * mysql-server/postrm_remove_database: false -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
