Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: php5
The automated tests that are run during the build process try to run
mysql relative to the build directory.
Because of the apparmor profile, when mysql-server is installed,
/usr/sbin/mysqld is only allowed arbitrary access under temp dirs (/tmp,
/var/tmp, etc).
Also bug #375371 proposes to go even further and restrict that to a dir
owned and only writable by mysql.
Proposed solution is to copy the necessary pieces of mysqld into the
build directory and run them as part of the build step. This will
prevent the apparmor profile for /usr/sbin/mysqld from being matched,
and will allow the proposed security enhancement to go forward.
I have tested this and it seems to work fine on maverick. Will push up a
branch when all tests complete.
** Affects: php5 (Ubuntu)
