I'm pretty sure there should be there. > $ dpkg -S /var/lib/mysql > mysql-server: /var/lib/mysql Actually, the msql entry also seems suspicious: $ dpkg -S /var/lib/msql dpkg: /var/lib/msql not found. What is it doing there? I haven't mini SQL installed, I couldn't even find mini SQL in the Debian packages... Should it be safe to remove msql from passwd/shadow? > If you have mysql-server installed (and I bet you do since you > have the 'mysql' user) then that directory might have been lost in the > crash. I shouldn't have mysql installed. $ dpkg -l 'mysql*' Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ un mysql <none> (no description available) un mysql-base <none> (no description available) pn mysql-client <none> (no description available) ii mysql-common 3.23.52-2 mysql database common files (e.g. /etc/mysql un mysql-dev <none> (no description available) un mysql-devel <none> (no description available) pn mysql-doc <none> (no description available) pn mysql-gpl-clie <none> (no description available) un mysql-gpl-dev <none> (no description available) pn mysql-gpl-doc <none> (no description available) pn mysql-manual <none> (no description available) pn mysql-navigato <none> (no description available) pn mysql-server <none> (no description available) pn mysqltcl <none> (no description available) Hmm, bit of a mess here... Why do I have a few mysql packages in a Desired=Unknown state? How could I upgrade the to a Desired=Purged state? Anyway, the avalanche of files reported by tiger surely cannot be totally explained by this mysql breakage... -- Carlos Sousa http://vbc.dyndns.org/
