Package: mysql-server
Version: 5.0.30-3
Severity: grave
Justification: causes serious data loss


Hello, 

I use a Debian "etch" server for development purposes, and I use there a
mysql database.

Now that I've upgraded my development server from sarge to etch, I face
a grave bug: when importing data from a dump made by mysqldump to a new
database, a key corruption appears.

Here is the error message:

    Mysql::Error: #HY000Incorrect key file for table '/tmp/#sql_7b82_0.MYI';
    try to repair it: <query ...>

After Googling a bit, I found that bug on the MySQL's bug tracking system:
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=22384

So it sounds to be fixed upstream (the report speaks about a patch).

IMHO, That bug should definitely not be shipped with etch, it renders any
impacted database unusable.

Regards,
