The RUNLEVEL bug was in the lsb-base package which just happened to had an update at the same time as my mysql package. It has been fixed in the meantime. "System Administrator" have you seen the same message? If so, first upgrade the lsb-base package and then try again with mysql. Please tell me if I can close this bug report if it works. bye, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
