One other thing... on debian in addition to my.cnf, there's a debain.cnf which also has the path to the socket in it and the start script uses that to pass the socket to mysql (in addition to my.cnf - which is a bit odd). I've never used ubuntu, but do you have something similar in /etc/mysql/ ? If that's not the case, just try setting the socket location back to where it was initially and then re-attempt to remove the package. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
