Package: mysql-server Version: 5.0.18-8 Severity: normal
Hello, when upgrading from 4.1 to 5.0, I get a message "cannot upgrade if ISAM tables are present". Ok... why not convert them? But hey, the old server which could have done it is already removed at the time I get this message, and the installation process just bails out... bummer! I suggest that the upgrade script _first_ determines if there are any ISAM tables left over, then offers to automatically convert them to MyISAM (or just do it, don't know), and then removes the old server and installs the new one, not the other way round. Currently, I have: $ dpkg -l mysql-server Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ iU mysql-server 5.0.18-8 mysql database server (current version) Thank you!
