No, I'm sure it isn't, but maybe it's the non-running mysql that's the problem. >> Is there any accepted way around this?

It is / was. I think the issue was that the socket path was pointing to the /var/run/ directory in the chroot where there was no running server. > Anyway, any chance that application can work with an sqlite database? Hmm, I don't know, I've never played with sqlite, but looking at it briefly, I think that would cause more work since I'd have to do a lot of testing on a new backend to ensure the application still worked correctly. One workaround I wondered about was amending the postinst script to check if it was a live-helper install, and if so to not call the database configuration sections. I could then execute an init script that performed either a dpkg-reconfigure on the packages or directly called a script to import the SQL. Does that sound credible, and if so is there a reliable way of detecting that I'm in the live-helper build environment?
