I'd like to confirm that this also happens with a clean install of pure squeeze
(only iceweasel taken from experimental). I tried both mysql-server from
squeeze (5.1.37-2) and sid (5.1.39-1).
I have no knowledge on how this all works, I only need it as a kmail dependency
(which is quite silly BTW). I didn't sent an upstream bug. Since it's a syntax
error the bug is most likely linked to the package itself.
