Package: mysql-server
Version: 3.23.49-8.8
Severity: important
MySQL in woody fails to start:
# /etc/init.d/mysql start
Starting MySQL database server: mysqld...failed.
/var/lib/mysql/`hostname`.err says
050114 15:20:18 mysqld started
/usr/sbin/mysqld: unrecognized option `--skip-external-locking'
/usr/sbin/mysqld Ver 3.23.49 for pc-linux-gnu on i686
[... usage message snipped ...]
050114 15:20:18 mysqld ended
I have no idea where --skip-external-locking comes from:
# grep -- --skip-external-locking /etc/mysql/*
# dpkg -L mysql-server | xargs grep -- --skip-external-locking 2>/dev/null
# dpkg -L mysql-common | xargs grep -- --skip-external-locking 2>/dev/null
By the way, I see here a /var/log/mysql.log that is an empty file.
/var/log/mysql/mysql.err is also an empty file. There are no other
mysql log files in /var/log.

Ok, I'm closing the bug report then.
I guess you/another admin was using a my.cnf that was not the default my.cnf
from the woody package and therefore got those "new-style" options.

Hm, indeed. But I can't fix Woody packages anymore. Sarge and Sid
have better error logging through syslog.
