Package: mysql-client-4.1
Version: 4.1.11a-4
Severity: normal
I have just installed the package (together with releated packages),
using `aptitude'. I know practically nothing about SQL - not even how to
make the program start.
/usr/share/doc/mysql-client-4.1 contains only administrative documents;
it doesn't contain any user manuals. I need to read the user manuals.
I don't want to have to go to a website for the documentation, since I
use an (expensive) modem connection.
In /usr/share/doc/mysql-client-4.1/README, it states:
The manual mentioned above can be found in the Docs directory. The
manual is available in the following formats: as plain ASCII text in
Docs/manual.txt, in HTML format in Docs/manual_toc.html, as GNU Info
in Docs/mysql.info and as PostScript in Docs/manual.ps.
Nowhere does it give any hint as to where "Docs" is to be found. I tried
the following commands:
find /usr -type d -name Docs
find /usr -name "mysql.info"
Neither of them found any files.
Am I missing something obvious, or has the documentation not been
installed?
Thanks in anticipation!

The manual had to be removed as its licence did not allow us the
distribution. Such Debian specific things are normally noted in the
/usr/share/doc/<packagename>/README.Debian file.
I fear you have to go to www.mysql.com and see if you can download the
documentation there.
