Maybe I can get a response with more info. I upgraded to MySQL-server 5.1.1 from stable using the backports.org apps in my sources.list & pinning them . I also upgraded all of MySql as well. I did not realize there was any difference until I tried to upgrade the backports installation & I can not do it. I have discovered several things. 1. the database mysql seems to be screwed up some way. 2. I can not edit it or even open it from Webmin or MySqladmin or from any other app. I get this error:
"SQL show index from `event` failed : Can't find file: './mysql/event.frm' (errno: 13)" 3. I also can not change the password for the 'required' user 'debian-system-maint' ( why is there a required user) (was not needed b/4?) 4. Basic global install requires my.cnf for it to be effective. I did as normal taking the dist file, editing it & changing the name to my.cnf. I noticed it shows the user as mysql. which I have enabled. I also see that the 'required' user 'debian-system-maint' is enabled using webmin to view this. 5. The debian-start requires the debian.cnf file and it says to NOT edit it. I did see the it indicates the user as debian-system-maint with what appears to be an obscured password. 6. I rarely have any gripes with the developers, however this just seems to be unnecessary over engineering in order to debianize the server install. 7. My question is how do I fix this? The debian readme does NOT supply an answer. Somehow the server is running and my apps seem to be running OK, but I just do not like the mess the debian developers have made of this. I also can not uninstall the server to go back to the stable version. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
