Ok I now have a work-around procedure that seems to work for me. 1. On fresh install of 10.04 create /etc/mysql/ and add debian-start file (extracted from mysql-server-5.1 package). - If this step is skipped the configuration of the mysql-cluster-server-5.1 will hang.
2. Install mysql-cluster-server-5.1 # aptitude install mysql-cluster-server-5.1 - This will error out w/ the following error: <ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' (using password: YES) 3. Fix mysql.user table # mysql -u root - no password should be required since it did not get set up correctly in the package configuration. a. Verify table appears as I posed in previous comment. mysql> select user,password,host from mysql.user; b. Delete incomplete entries mysql> DROP USER ''@'localhost'; mysql> DROP USER ''@'db3'; c. Create debian-sys-maint user mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, RELOAD, SHUTDOWN, PROCESS, FILE, REFERENCES, INDEX, ALTER, SHOW DATABASES, SUPER, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, LOCK TABLES, EXECUTE, REPLICATION SLAVE, REPLICATION CLIENT ON *.* TO 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION; d. Set passwords for root & debian-sys-maint users (for debian-sys-maint use the password listed in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf) mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('NEW-PASSWORD') WHERE user='debian-sys-maint'; mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('NEW-PASSWORD') WHERE user='root'; mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; 4. Test that debian-sys-maint user is working # mysql -u debian-sys-maint -pNEW-PASSWORD 5. Restart of database should now work without errors # /etc/init.d/mysql restart -- package mysql-cluster-server-5.1 7.0.9-1ubuntu7 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579732 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
