Replying, unstyled, requires the send again option [CTRL+E]. That is the root cause of the broken mail thread problems. By re-sending a previous message you are re-sending the previous headers too. This is what is causing threading to be so confused. Now I understand the previous thread breakage. Please do not re-send previous messages after editing them. Instead simply list-reply to them. I am pretty-sure that Thunderbird will reply to the list appropriately. But regardless you need to allow Thunderbird to set up the threading properly. Just do the normal thing and follow-up and let Thunderbird do the right thing. The material above my reply is blue. Blue? You mean as in html email? Colors will be lost entirely when reading the mail as plain text. Think about people using screen readers. Plain text is the standard. I am one of many reading the plain text content and any html color will be invisible to me. Even if I were reading the html I would be rendering it into a terminal and so still would not see any colors. And also html email is listed specifically on the list of things not to send to the mailing list. http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature

There are several aspects to this, maybe it's worth going through them
one by one (this list is probably not exhaustive):
(1) Keeping emails in a thread together.
Your MUA does this for you, as long as you use the reply
function. Whereas what you do, using Ctrl-E (Edit-Message-
as-New), doesn't produce the correct references.
(2) Inserting a special character to indicate this is a quote.
Again, your email client (Icedove) does this for you, if you
use the reply function. It then inserts a at the beginning
of each line of the quoted text, and other reader's email
clients can then format it on screen properly.
(3) Using plain text instead of HTML.
This is probably what you call unstyled versus styled. I
seem to remember that the FAQ for this list requests to use
plain text, though this doesn't seem to be adhered to very
strictly. Anyway, if Icedove is set-up to default to HTML,
then Shift-{Write, Reply, Reply to All, Reply to List}
will produce plain text mails. [1]
(4) Top versus bottom posting.
It is the convention here to keep the quote above your new
contribution. As described before, Icedove is easy to configure
to do this.
One other feature in Icedove I find useful when dealing with this sort
of thing is to have multiple identities. In Account Settings, find the
button Manage Identities. Each identity can have for instance
different quoting styles. [2]

I have personally often had problems with mysql upgrades. But I always had a full database backup. Therefore it when things have not worked it was always very easy to purge all of the packages and then re-install them and then restore from backup. But if you don't have a backup then purging the data would be a very bad thing. Does anyone else on the list have any suggestions at this point? If there are no other better ideas I would save off a copy of the /var/lib/mysql directory as backup. cp -a /var/lib/mysql /var/backups/mysql.$(date +%F) Then I would purge mysql-server-5.5 to clean up this package installation mess. # apt-get purge mysql-server-5.5 I just tested this on my system and it did not actually remove the /var/lib/mysql directories. Which is good and what we want even if it does not comply with policy. It is the safer behavior. But make sure you have a backup anyway. Then after it has been removed verify that it is removed. # dpkg -l mysql-server-5.5 dpkg-query: no packages found matching mysql-server-5.5 Then install it again. # apt-get install mysql-server ...press enter to each of the three questions about changing the mysql root access password...this will preserve the previous password that you set before without changing it... Of course if you should have a database password set. This will preserve it to the previous value. If you didn't previously set one then recover first and then change it later.

Your system seems pretty messed up so I wouldn't be surprised if you have yet another problem below this one. After getting this fixed with mysql you can clean up the old mysql backup. And set up regular future backups. I always have this following on my systems.

And then it appears as if you are cutting and pasting in all of our text. Bizarre! Message 5500 and 5503 both appear as a reply to my message 5498. But that is also incorrect since 5500 is actually a reply to Lisi's message 5501 but the headers are wrong for it too and reference the message before it. Truly goofy. Also take a look at your reply as the rest of us see it: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2013/08/msg00436.html Your quoting is horrid. Sorry to say it so harshly. But it is really awful. Your are keeping all of the original message without any quoting characters, the '' char, on the left side. This is explained in more detail here. Also in a dozen dozen other guides on the net. If you search a little about how to quote email you should find dozens of guides on it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet_quoting Without those quote characters it is difficult to see what you wrote and what we wrote. And it makes trimmed replies confusing. So please add a '' quote character to the front. Thunderbird should do this automatically. For some reason it is not for you. And then another problem is that you leave the entire message in its entirety and bottom post your message after it. Instead please trim the message to just enough context to make understood to what you are referring. Brian and Ralf do a good job of this in their replies to you. Here are two examples: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2013/07/msg01230.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2013/07/msg01249.html Notice how they trim your reply down to just the relevant parts.

Re: Installing mysqldump
if the database that you need to backup is not in your own PC, use the -h parameter with mysqldump and pass the host ip or fqdn of the PC in which the database resides. eg : mysqldump -h 192.168.1.30 -u username_with_external_access -p db_name db_name.sql if the database is in the same PC, then you still have problems as the local mysql service is not running. check logs (syslog , mysql log) to see why its not running and attend to that.

As for as the rest, try apt-get install mysql-client and/or mysql-server. These are wrappers that will install the latest versions. Check the Debian Packages page on their web site. I don't see mysql-core-5.5 listed. Gary R. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
