Hi, more than a year later, this bug is still open. I sometiems need the mysql server on my development machine, but permanently running a full-blown database system on my everyday work laptop is a total waste of resources, so I disabled the automatic startup of the server. That makes the postrotate script fail - probably related to me using KDE, so there *is* a mysqld running, just not the one the script would like to talk to. I fixed this by adding
test -d /var/run/mysql || exit 0 # make sure the server actually runs at the beginning of the postrotate script. Of course this will be problematic if the server configuration is changed to use no/a different local socket, but it's better than daily getting a complaint mail from cron.
