Package: mysql-common Version: 4.0.24-10 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
After upgrading to mysql-common (4.0.24-10 => 5.0.7beta-1) I wasn't able to start the mysql service again (booted due to a new kernel). /var/log/syslog Aug 2 08:42:19 pluto /etc/init.d/mysql[7294]: 0 processes alive and '/usr/bin/mysqladmin --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf ping' resulted in Aug 2 08:42:19 pluto /etc/init.d/mysql[7294]: ^G/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed Aug 2 08:42:19 pluto /etc/init.d/mysql[7294]: error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)' Aug 2 08:42:19 pluto /etc/init.d/mysql[7294]: Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists! Aug 2 08:42:19 pluto /etc/init.d/mysql[7294]: I downgraded to stable to make the service work again. I know that there are packages missing to have 5.0 for all mysql relatet packages. This report is to prevent anyone else to run in this situation again. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-mm2-20050719-0 Locale: LANG=C, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
