Package: mysql-common Version: 5.0.51a-24+lenny2 Severity: important
My upgrade to 5.0.51a-24+lenny2 seemed to hang during the preinst process again and again. Looking into the matter I found that it executed a 'find -name *.ISM' in the root directory, which traversed the whole /afs space. (In AFS terms, this is equivalent to spidering http://*) The reason for this error is the following line in preinst: cvt_datadir=`cvt_get_param datadir` For some reason, there is no "--datadir" default on my system, and thus this variable comes back empty, causing the reported behavior. Perhaps no one else notices this because the find executes in finite time on their system, if long :-) -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-bpo.1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
