Package: mysql-server-5.0
Version: 5.0.32-7etch3
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
We were wondering why upgrading mysql-server kept breaking access for
the debian-sys-maint user for us. The reason turned out to be that we
had an old (commented out) password line in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf (at
the top of the file). It was a bit hard to find out that this was the
reason. I'd like to suggest something like this:
