reassign 289762 mysql-server severity 289762 critical tags 289762 patch thanks
hi folks, i have some good news, and some bad news. the good news is that i've figured out where the problem is. the bad news is that there's not much we can do about it, other than forward the bug to the mysql-server maintainer. 4.0.23 introduced a "bugfix" for the FROM_UNIXTIME function which inadvertently introduced another bug, which will break many applications (including nagios-mysql) that rely on referencing the epoch in DATETIME variables. more on the bug can by found at: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=7515 and the patch that fixes it (from their bk changeset 1.2014) is attached. christian: could you let us know if you would accept this patch for the current upstream version of mysql-server until the next version is released? the patch applies cleanly (-p1) to the current source package. if not, i'll conflict nagios against 4.0.23 for the time being. also, feel free to change the severity to what you feel is appropriate, i felt that "makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole system) break" justified at least initially filing the bug with said severity. thanks, sean --
