I'll give it a shot tomorrow in a virtual machine. I've seen in /var/log/apt/term.log.2.gz (my oldest) that mysql-common was installed a lot earlier than mysql-client and mysql-server. But it doesn't show up in /var/log/dpkg.log. My best shot is that it was installed during the installation, and somehow broken by an update. -- package mysql-server-5.0 5.1.30really5.0.75-0ubuntu10.2 failed to install/upgrade: my.cnf was missing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/437600 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
