Well... I guess I did that -- at the moment not thinking / remembering what I needed a sql database for...

It should be possible to ask for confirmation in a way that I would have hesitated right? Like when you try to format a harddisk: *** ALL DATA WILL BE LOST *** kind of thing? Nevertheless, you say you just purged a package and the database is still there? It definitely isn't here :/ So, when did it get deleted? And by what? If reinstalling the package simply overwrote the old database then that is bug: it should never do that. Also, I looked with ext3grep if I could see anything (although I wasn't, and still am, not even sure what file to look for) and I could find any trace of anything deleted in /var/lib/mysql. > Am Freitag, den 11.03.2011, 16:22 +0100 schrieb Carlo Wood: > > Hi, the upgrade was done on Feb 2, 2011.
