Package: mysql-server-5.0
Version: 5.0.21-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Please disregard information about my installed mysql software, I post
about version 5.0.21-4 (and 5.0.22 obtained by apt-get -b source).
The postinst in mysql-server-5.0 is slightly wrong in one case: when
/etc/mysql/debian.cnf does already exist.
The script tries to get the same old password as already mentioned,
which is great and fine. But since there are two lines with password =
in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf (namely one in [user] and one in
[mysql_upgrade]), the script gets the wrong password (it gets
"secretpassword secretpassword" instead of "secretpassword").
The fix is trivial.
