Hi, The last part of debug message suggest to look another way :
+ '[' '!' -d /lib/init/rw/splashy ']' + SPL_PRG=/lib/init/rw/splashy/2-progress + '[' -f /lib/init/rw/splashy/2-progress ']' + return 1 invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed. And it's a splashy bug : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=524049 With the trick on this report, everything is ok. You can close or reassigne this bugs. mil -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
