[Bug 305107] Re: mysql refuses to start after security update
O.k. I checked this again. I went through the steps mentioned before to reproduce the problem. After installation of mysql-server-5.0 from the apt repository _without_ security updates, the directory conf.d and a file in it, old_passwords.cnf EXISTS! Adding the security repository and then upgrading the package, makes the directory conf.d be DELETED, seemingly be the upgrade/postinstall script, and then, the server fails to start! Nnot only is it wrong in my opinion that a sertver fails to start when an optional directory is missing, that the upgrade process even deletes this directory, without which the server cannot start... strange. Additional info: I made a default desktop install from live cd, not a server install. marking the bug confirmed, as I thoroughly tested it on a clean install. The simplest fix I can imagine would be to change the mysqld start script to ignore the optional directory if not there. ** Changed in: mysql-dfsg-5.0 (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed -- mysql refuses to start after security update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305107 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to mysql-dfsg-5.0 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 305107] Re: mysql refuses to start after security update
I can't reproduce this issue. Here's what I've done: - Installed Hardy - Disabled -updates and -security in /etc/apt/sources.list - sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.0 - Directory /etc/mysql/conf.d exists with old_passwords.cnf in it - Enabled -updates and -security in /etc/apt/sources.list - sudo apt-get dist-upgrade - Directory /etc/mysql/conf.d still exists (with no files in it) - Mysql starts fine Also, I took a look at all the scripts in the mysql package, and I don't see where any of them could remove that directory. I am not sure why you're getting this issue.

When I don't do any git / etckeeper stuff, the empty directory remains. When I do apt-get install etckeeper etckeeper init the conf.d directory is deleted and mysql cannot start. I did not think that could be causing the error So we have really two bugs: 1) for etckeeper: it should not delete empty directories after a system upgrade (in general, don't apply any changes on upgrades, unless being explicitly told to clean something up) 2) In any case, the issue of the daemon not starting just because a missing optional directory remains here for mysql -- mysql refuses to start after security update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305107 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to mysql-dfsg-5.0 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage . I have classified this bug as a bug in mysql-dfsg-5.0. For future reference you might be interested to know that a lot of applications have bug reporting functionality built in to them. This can be accessed via the Report a Problem option in the Help menu for the application with which you are having an issue.

But now I searched for two hours for the help menu of mysql-server.5.0, and I cannot find it - do you have an idea? No, just joking, I think that hint doesn't work for server daemons :) Anyway, hope that thing get's fixed soon - I believe that is a very grave error to happen - a security update that breaks the abilty of a server daemon to start is no fun at all!
