Bug#321578:

[Michael Wardle]

I was just hit by this in Etch after an update, upgrade.

mysql-server 4.0.24-10 seems to be the current version and
mysql-server-4.1 does not yet replace mysql-server 4.0.

Is this something that was not caught when this issue was resolved, or
is there something still coming down the line for Etch?

Bug#321578: /usr/sbin/mysqld: old_passwords variable seems to be incompatible with new versions of mysql

[Damien CASSOU]

Package: mysql-server
Version: 4.0.24-10
Severity: grave
File: /usr/sbin/mysqld
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable


Hi,

it seems that the variable  old_passwords is not available in the last
mysql version which prevents mysqld  to be launched. So I commented it
: 

# For compatibility to other Debian packages that still use
# libmysqlclient10 and libmysqlclient12.
# old_passwords = 1
#

Now, everything seems to work.
