Package: mysql-server-5.1 Version: 5.1.41-3 Severity: normal
When I try to upgrade from 5.0 to 5.1, I got error log in syslog like this: Installation of system tables failed! Examine the logs in /var/lib/mysql for more information. After checking postinst script, I found that it is triggered by following lines: bash /usr/bin/mysql_install_db --rpm 2>&1 | $ERR_LOGGER It is trying to run mysql_install_db even the mysql system database already exist. Should we check this before running this? -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages mysql-server-5.1 depends on: ii adduser 3.87 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.1 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.7-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbi-perl 1.50-2 Perl5 database interface by Tim Bu ii libgcc1 1:4.2.1-4 GCC support library ii libmysqlclient16 5.1.41-3 MySQL database client library ii libstdc++6 4.2.1-4 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-9 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii lsb-base 3.1-5 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii mysql-client-5.1 5.1.41-3 MySQL database client binaries ii mysql-common 5.1.41-3 MySQL database common files (e.g. ii passwd 1:4.0.15-7 change and administer password and ii perl 5.8.8-4 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii psmisc 22.2-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-5 compression library - runtime Versions of packages mysql-server-5.1 recommends: pn libhtml-template <none> (no description available) ii mailx 1:8.1.2-0.20050715cvs-1 A simple mail user agent -- debconf information: mysql-server-5.1/postrm_remove_databases: false mysql-server-5.1/really_downgrade: false mysql-server/error_setting_password: mysql-server-5.1/start_on_boot: true mysql-server-5.1/nis_warning: mysql-server/password_mismatch: mysql-server/no_upgrade_when_using_ndb: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
