Product: MySQL-client Component: program Summary: mysql_install_db doesn't look for mysqld-max Version: 4.0.11a-4mdk Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This belongs to the MySQL-common package, but it was not in the selection list. Problem: mysql_install_db fails to look for mysqld-max and therefore does not initialize /var/lib/mysql/mysql properly. Sorry that I only noticed this so late, but since /var/lib/mysql is kept on uninstall, the problem only happens when you never installed MySQL before *and* install MySQL-Max before MySQL. It is a bug in the original script and not by Mandrake's package, but only became visible when MySQL-Max became undependend of MySQL package. And reporting it the ordinary way would propagate to late for the 9.1 release. I will attach a patch. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
