Hello Please let mysql-dfsg (4.0.24-8) and mysql-dfsg-4.1 (4.1.11-3) into testing.
Both were blocked during the free announcement by bug #307473 which could lead to the accidental remove of all mysql databases if one of the packages is removed but not purged, the other one is installed and then the first package completely purged as both use /var/lib/mysql as storage path and ask "do you want to remove everything" when purging. Even worse for the old Woody packages which asked this question at install-time and saved the answer in Debconf. For mysql-dfsg-4.1 there was also a problem with a cronscript that was not beeing installed as dh_installcron did not liked the name (#302712). Both uploads were made to unstable and built fine on all architectures. thanks, -christian- The changelogs for both versions (also including the parts that probably would have entered testing if not beeing blocked) are: mysql-dfsg-4.1 (4.1.11-3) unstable; urgency=high * The "do you want to remove /var/lib/mysql when purging the package" flag from old versions is removed once this package is beeing installed so that purging an old Woody mysql-server package while having a mysql-server-4.1 package installed can no longer lead to the removal of all databases. Additionaly clarified the wording of this versions Debconf template and added a check that skips this purge in the postrm script if another mysql-server* package has /usr/sbin/mysqld installed. (thanks to Adrian Bunk for spotting that problem) Closes: #307473 * Cronfile was not beeing installed as the filename was not in the correct format for "dh_installcron --name" (thanks to Tomislav Gountchev). Closes: #302712 -- Christian Hammers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sat, 23 Apr 2005 22:55:15 +0200 mysql-dfsg-4.1 (4.1.11-2) unstable; urgency=low * Sean Finney: - don't freak out if we can't remove /etc/mysql during purge. - debian/rules clean works again. * Christian Hammers: - Fixed typo in README.Debian (thanks to Joerg Rieger). Closes: #304897 - Completely removed the passwordless test user as it was not only insecure but also lead to irritations as MySQL checks first the permissions of this user and then those of a password having one.
