Broken again for me with mysql-server-5.1 version 5.1.30-2ubuntu4; fails upong trying to start the service. It was okay in the version before this by following directions as per bug 316849, so that's not the case anymore.
ChangeLog says: mysql-dfsg-5.1 (5.1.30-2ubuntu4) jaunty; urgency=low [ Jonathan Riddell ] * Move data files to /usr/share/mysql-5.1 with --datadir=/usr/share/mysql-5.1 to make them co-installable with mysql 5.0 * Update debian/rules for the above change * Split out /usr/share/mysql-5.1 into new mysql-server-data-5.1 package. These files are needed for embedded use of mysql (e.g. by Amarok). * Make mysql-server-5.1 conflict on mysql-server-core-5.0 (LP: #321185) [ Harald Sitter ] * Update all remaining references of usr/share/mysql/ * Conflicts for the Kubuntu Intrepid deployment (subject for upgrade testing): + libmysqlclient16 replaces & conflicts amarok-libmysqlclient16 + libmysqlclient16.dev replaces & conflicts amarok-libmysqlclient-dev + mysql-data-5.1 replaces & conflicts amarok-mysql-data * Link /usr/share/mysql-5.1/aclocal/mysql.m4 to /usr/share/aclocal/ -- Harald Sitter <apachelog...@ubuntu.com> Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:43:46 +0100 By the way, starting "mysqld" by hand via console, brings up the following error: 090128 22:23:38 [ERROR] Can't find messagefile '/usr/share/mysql/english/errmsg.sys' In fact, that file is now in '/usr/share/mysql-5.1/mysql/english/errmsg.sys', so I believe someone should fix it.
