Hello !
unfortunately, we are not able to provide the mysql online documentation, as mysql's licensing prohibits redistribution in debian. we used to have a mysql-nonfree source package that provided the documentation, but even this was deemed not possible after further examination of the licensing terms. there have been a number of bug reports and threads about this, but unfortunately i don't have any on hand to point you at.
That's a pity...
so, i guess at this point, we can do two things with this bug: - retitle it "manpages should not reference non-existant documentation" and close it when the manpages are updated to inform the user of the situation
I think I would prefer this solution. And then, it would still be interesting to provide an accurate link towards online documentation, that users just have to copy/paste into their browsers (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/ should do - took me too long to find ;-)...). Might also be interesting to add a few words in the manpages to explain why documentation can't be made available.
