Package: mysql-server Version: 4.0.24-10 Severity: normal
My mysql stopped working this morning. After an hour of investigation I found the following in my daemon.log: >Oct 5 10:58:43 tea mysqld[7477]: 051005 10:58:43 /usr/sbin/mysqld: unknown >variable 'old_passwords=1' I have not touched my.cnf as far as I can tell, and in /etc/mysql/my.cnf the relevant part reads: ># ># For compatibility to other Debian packages that still use ># libmysqlclient10 and libmysqlclient12. >old_passwords = 1 So it seems that this has been broken during an apt-get upgrade. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.28-ow1 Locale: LANG=zh_TW.Big5, LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.Big5 (charmap=BIG5) Versions of packages mysql-server depends on: ii adduser 3.67.2 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf 1.4.58 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdbi-perl 1.48-2 Perl5 database interface by Tim Bu ii libgcc1 1:4.0.2-2 GCC support library ii libmysqlclient12 4.0.24-10sarge1 mysql database client library ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.6-10 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-8 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii mailx 1:8.1.2-0.20050715cvs-1 A simple mail user agent ii mysql-client 4.0.24-10 mysql database client binaries ii mysql-common 5.0.13rc-1 mysql database common files (e.g. ii passwd 1:4.0.12-6 change and administer password and ii perl 5.8.7-5 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii psmisc 21.6-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-4 compression library - runtime mysql-server recommends no packages. -- debconf information: mysql-server/skip_networking: false mysql-server/really_downgrade_from_41: false mysql-server/want_chroot: false * mysql-server/start_on_boot: true mysql-server/postrm_remove_databases: false * mysql-server/mysql_install_db_notes: mysql-server/nis_warning: mysql-server/mysql_update_hints1: * mysql-server/postrm_remove_database: false mysql-server/fix_privileges_warning: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
