Package: mpd
Version: 0.16.1-1
An upgrade from mpd 0.15.x to 0.16.x that happend last week didn't
work flawless on my server. The database version between the two
versions apparently isn't compatible. The upgrade went fine, but when
dpkg attempted to start the daemon, it quit with an error. I'm not 100
% sure, but I thought it was "Database format mismatch, discarding
database file". Removing the old database (in my case default;
/var/lib/mpd/tag_cache), and creating a new one (touch
/var/lib/mpd/tag_cache; chown mpd:audio /var/lib/mpd/tag_cache) fixed
the issue, I could start mpd again, and order it to update it's
database.
I think it would be better to at least provide the user with the
message that the former steps need to be done. Perhaps it can even be
done by default, since the config files are compatible anyway.
Regenerating the database shouldn't be that much of an issue.
