Should this be in the wrapper, or in the one-time migration code in mysql-common when my.cnf.migrated is generated? I'm happy with the latter, especially as you point out a regular conffile prompt would happen anyway. I'm concerned about "too many debconf prompts" for the former. We could additionally provide the notice on mysql-common.postinst every time that my.cnf.migrated is present and active, perhaps filtered by version. This might help users who have upgraded already. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1447944 Title: Cannot access mariadb after upgrading to Ubuntu 15.04: Plugin 'unix_socket' is not loaded To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mariadb-10.0/+bug/1447944/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
