------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-06 15:53 ------- removed both mysql and postgres (for a good measure) related packages form the system, and installed everything again. Guess what: all works now. My guess is that it works now beacause mysql user already exists when we start the install. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: Hello, When I install mysql on a machine with no mysql installed, I get a few errors. Apparently perl-DBI and MySQL-common expect that a mysql user already exists. Also the postinstall script of MySQL seems to expect a running database.
