That has been fixed using the compile option suggested by Piotrs.

Closes: #308966 -- Christian Hammers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thu, 19 May 2005 01:41:14 +0200 mysql-dfsg-4.1 (4.1.11a-2) unstable; urgency=high * Okay, the hackery with /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server.list will not stand and is removed from the preinst of mysql-server. * New workaround for the symlink problem that does not involve mucking with dpkg's file lists is storing the symlinks in a temporary location across upgrades. As this sometimes fails since apt-get does not always call new.preinst before old.postrm, some remarks were added to README.Debian and the Debconf installation notes to minimize the inconvinience this causes. -- sean finney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun, 15 May 2005 10:25:31 -0400 mysql-dfsg-4.1 (4.1.11a-1) unstable; urgency=high * Added the "a" to the version number to be able to upload a new .orig.tar.gz file which now has the non-free Docs/ directory removed as this has been forgotten in the 4.1.11 release (thanks to Goeran Weinholt). Closes: #308691 * The Woody package listed /var/lib/mysql and /var/log/mysql in its /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server.list. These directories are often replaced by symlinks to data partitions which triggers a dpkg bug that causes these symlinks to be removed on upgrades. The new preinst prevents this by removing the two lines from the .list file (thanks to Andreas Barth and Jamin W. Collins). See dpkg bug #287978. * Updated French Debconf translation (thanks to Christian Perrier).
