Hi, This has nothing to do with a new schema but just with the $table_prefix option. It's set to "wp_" by default in the precise package but AFAIK it has been that way for a long time. Are you sure you didn't have a specific configuration where the prefix was set to empty ? Can you attach the content of /etc/wordpress/ ? Thus you can recover your former content by changing the wordpress configuration in /etc/wordpress/wp-config.php and switching $table_prefix to ''.
