Hello, I got bitten by this bug. While debugging startup script (/etc/init.d/mysql), it tries to read /etc/mysql/debian.cnf but this file is rw------- owned by root:root, causing following error:
++ /usr/bin/mysqladmin --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf ping + ping_output='/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at '\''localhost'\'' failed error: '\''Can'\''t connect to local MySQL server through socket '\''/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'\'' (2)'\'' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '\''/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'\'' exists!' I also need to have 'lo' loopback network interface up and a resolvable localhost domain :-) Well, at least doing a chmod a+r to debian.cnf fixed my problem which it is unsafe for multiuser computers. I hope this helps to find a proper fix to this issue.
