Package: mysql-server-5.0 Version: 5.0.32-7etch5 Severity: important When installing the last security update in etch I chose to install the default my.cnf from the package, as it seemed also suitable for my installation.
So I let overwrite the my.cnf with the package version and get the following error on startup: /etc/init.d/mysql: ERROR: Using expire_logs_days without log_bin crashes the server. See README.Debian.gz invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed. After commenting out expire_logs_days in my.cnf it worked again. The distributed default my.cnf seems to be broken in stable! -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-1-686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to de_DE) Versions of packages mysql-server-5.0 depends on: ii adduser 3.102 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11etch1 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.7-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbi-perl 1.53-1etch1 Perl5 database interface by Tim Bu ii libgcc1 1:4.3-20080202-1 GCC support library ii libmysqlclient15off 5.0.51a-3 MySQL database client library ii libncurses5 5.6+20080203-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline5 5.2-2 GNU readline and history libraries ii libstdc++6 4.3-20080202-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-13 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii lsb-base 3.1-23.2etch1 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii mysql-client-5.0 5.0.32-7etch5 mysql database client binaries ii mysql-common 5.0.51a-3 MySQL database common files ii passwd 1:4.0.18.1-7 change and administer password and ii perl 5.8.8-12 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii psmisc 22.3-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-11 compression library - runtime Versions of packages mysql-server-5.0 recommends: ii mailx 1:8.1.2-0.20050715cvs-1 A simple mail user agent -- debconf information: mysql-server-5.0/really_downgrade: false mysql-server-5.0/start_on_boot: true mysql-server-5.0/nis_warning: mysql-server-5.0/postrm_remove_databases: false mysql-server-5.0/no_upgrade_with_isam_tables: * mysql-server-5.0/mysql_install_db_notes: * mysql-server-5.0/need_sarge_compat: false mysql-server/error_setting_password: mysql-server-5.0/need_sarge_compat_done: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
