Package: mysql-server-5.0 Version: 5.0.18-7 Severity: important From the preinst script:
# Abort if ISAM tables are present. if [ -n "`find $DATADIR -name '*.ISM'`" ]; then db_input high mysql-server-$this_version/no_upgrade_with_isam_tables || true db_go db_stop exit 1 fi This makes the installation fail on my box without giving me any hints on what to do. I do not know yet what the problem with ISAM tables is, but perhaps a few lines echoed to stdout pointing to the appropriate documentation would be helpful.
