That was one of the first things I tried but it didn't work out, it leads to more problems. > If that does not work then run > > dpkg -S etc/mysql > > to find out which packages on your system should have files That was a brilliant suggestion. I knew about "dpkg -S" but somehow I assumed that everything related to mysql-server was removed when I purged it. Not so. mysql-common was left over as some other packages depended on it and that was causing the problem. Purging mysql-common (and the dependent packages) and then reinstalling resolved the issue. Thanks a lot for your help. -- End of message ----------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
