Ok, this bug was introduced in mysql-dfsg-5.1 version 5.1.37-1ubuntu6,
this changelog entry:
* debian/additions/my.cnf:
- Remove pid declaration
- Set up error logging to /var/log/mysql since we're not piping
anything around logger anymore.
The old init script piped mysql's stderr to syslog with
ERR_LOGGER="logger -p daemon.err -t /etc/init.d/mysql -i"
This should have included an addition to mysql-server-5.1.mysql-
server.logrotate to add this new error log, but it did not.
I've confirmed it still exists in the latest version of the mysql-5.1
package. Marking as Triaged, as this is an Ubuntu-specific issue and
does not need any further forwarding. Setting importance to Medium, as
mysql actually doesn't print many errors unless it is *extremely*
broken, otherwise we might have heard about this sooner (this change is
just under 2 years old and has been in the wild since 10.04 was released
18 months ago.)
Because this is a small, clear change, I will also nominate it for SRU
to lucid.
