I would appreciate it when you can do the investigation to come to a proper solution as you probably have a working setup with both version installed and I really think this is too much work for me right now. Once you have defined the solution, I can do the uploading of my own packages. The problem here: I don't know the details of the change in MySQL regarding TYPE= vs ENGINE=, but I would expect that packages probably still need or want to declare the db engine type. If this is true than the solution is going to be rather involved as the packages probably need some intelligence to detect which version of MySQL is running (on the server side) before it knows which command to call. For cacti, this is fully delegated to dbconfig-common (of which I am now the maintainer and upstream as well). As said, I don't see how to do this trivially, as you have to detect what version is on the MySQL server, i.e. not necessarily on the host where you are installing the package. Now that I think about it, this is probably something that needs fixing in dbconfig-common anyways and as it was never reported an issue it probably means that hardly anybody is actually using the functionality from dbconfig-common to use packages this way (or they fix it manually and don't bother to report the issue). If declaring the engine is really not needed, the fix is trivial and I will update cacti. If declaring the engine is needed, I ask you to figure out how dbconfig-common should be patched to allow this detection as it is not my priority to fix this now. After that I will updated both dbconfig-common and cacti. Paul P.s. I will drop Mayuddin from my next response if he doesn't answer, because I haven't heard from since I took over maintenance of cacti.
