Bug#831639: mariadb-server: mysql_install_db in postinst script does not run
Hello! The program 'logger' is part of the bsdutils package, which is an Essential package (=installed on all Debian systems). If your system is missing it, then your system is somehow weirdly installed. This is a very rare corner case, so I'm dropping severity.
Bug#831639: mariadb-server: mysql_install_db in postinst script does not run
Package: mariadb-server Version: 10.0.25-0+deb8u1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, I tried to install mariadb-server on a system with no logger. mysql_install_db in postinst script does not run. The offending line is "bash /usr/bin/mysql_install_db --user mysql --rpm 2>&1 | $ERR_LOGGER". I would suggest checking if a logger is present before using it. -- System Information: Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-586 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages mariadb-server depends on: ih mariadb-server-10.0 10.0.25-0+deb8u1 mariadb-server recommends no packages. mariadb-server suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
