Potential solutions to the bug report: (1) The lazy solution: this report will be marked as invalid, because the problem is not in the package but in the user's configuration file (2) The smart solution: a parser to check the user's configuration file and issue warnings for deprecated configuration options (3) The mid-way solution: catch the exit status code after starting mysqld and if it fails to start suggest to the user to investigate their configuration file (4) An alternative solution: catch the exit status code after starting mysqld and if it fails to start, put forward the option to the user to backup the old configuration file and install a fresh one
