Package: mysql-client
Version: 4.0.24-10sarge1
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/mysqldump
Hi!
mysqldump overwrites an existing dumpfile even when the database to be
dumped does not exist any more. When the database to be dumped does not
exist mysqldump should exit with an error and not write anything to the
output file.
