Package: automysqlbackup Version: 2.5-3 Severity: critical Justification: causes serious data loss
Since the upgrade of mysql-server (and client) to 5.1, mysql rewrites the directory of existing databases with names containing hyphens with special characters, in this case "@002". As the /etc/default/automysqlbackup script detects all databases using `find`, this breaks the backup process of theses specific databases. I am unsure whether other characters are affected. In my opinion, the list of databases should be retrieved using the client and SHOW DATABASES, this won't break any name rewriting issues.
