The attached patch removes the extra quoting; the quoting is no longer needed, now that the arguments are not passed through eval.
The patch is safe to apply because it does not affect the case in which mysql_install_db is called from package scripts, because those scripts do not add args to mysql_install_db on the command line (they are taken from the conf files in /etc/). It just fixes the case in which someone wants to create a new database in a different location, for example as part of an automated test suite. ** Attachment added: "patch to remove unnecessary seddy quotation" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7343208/foo -- mysql_install_db incorrectly quotes arguments https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107466 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
