At least in my initial tests, mysql_upgrade fails if mysql is already
upgraded. That is, running it once upgrades, running it again is an
error. Maybe:
echo "The following may give an error, which you can ignore..."
/sw/bin/mysql_upgrade || :
so that a failure of that script doesn't cause PostInst to crash? But
even with that echo"", it's still uncomfortable to see a mile of error
messages.
