Thanks Norvald's for the great analysis. We're not going to be able to change the build options for already released versions of MySQL. The docs indicate that using the --ssl-ca is the recommended option for this case.
If you want to get the build options changes for the next release 18.04 - I'd suggest confirming it's still an issue on 18.04, trying to get an understanding of why we are building with the bundled version, and then reporting a new bug for 18.04/mysql-5.7. Thanks for reporting the bug and sorry we don't always have time for a prompt response. ** Changed in: mysql-5.1 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: mysql-5.5 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1076656 Title: mysql --ssl-capath option doesn't work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.1/+bug/1076656/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
