I have confirmed this for hardy.
The bug has been addressed upstream by
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=34461. It has not been added to
intrepid yet because it has not be merged yet. It is a simple one liner
patch, which I have attached to the bug report.
TEST CASE:
To reproduce it, you have to do the following:
1. Set your hostname to localhost.
2. Install the mysql packages from the repository.
3. In your /var/log/syslog you should see the following:
Installation of my system tables failed!
4. Try logging in with mysql -u root -p
5. You should not be able to connect.
!!! WARNING - You should probably do this in a virtual machine just in
case.
The patch does resolve the issue.
