Please unblock mysql-dfsg-5.0 5.0.32-6 <- ABI problems!

[Christian Hammers <ch@debian.org>]

Hello

Please allow mysql-dfsg-5.0 to be updated from 5.0.32-3 to -6.

The main issue is probably the one from 5.0.32-4:
After the accidental upstream ABI change in libmysqlclient15.so we forgot
to raise the minimum required version in the .shlibs file. Now some
packages like libdbd-mysql-perl crash with strange error messages as they
receive communication packages from MySQL that are slightly longer than
they expect and thus overwrites unrelated variables :-(
I guess binNMUs have to be made here, as you did after the other upstream
ABI problem in June 2006. Sorry for this.

The early -4 changes contains some stuff like more comments in my.cnf which
are not RC of course but completely harmless on the other hand so it would be
nice if you would safe me the time to create a 5.0.32-3etch1 branch.
The changes from Monty Taylor address issues that would probably have caused
RC bugs in the future (he's mysql employee and sent patches instead of filing
a bug report :))

thanks,

mysql-dfsg-5.0 (5.0.32-5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Backported upstream patch for a bug that crashed the server when using
    certain join/group/limit combinations. 
    Users of the Joomla CMS seemed to be affected by this. Closes: #403721
  * The debian-start script that runs on every server start now first upgrades
    the system tables (if neccessary) and then check them as it sometimes did
    not work the other way around (e.g. for MediaWiki). The script now uses 
    mysql_update instead of mysql_update_script as recommended. Closes: 409780
  * Remove the Debconf generated config file in postrm.

mysql-dfsg-5.0 (5.0.32-4) unstable; urgency=high

  [Christian Hammers]
  * Changed minimum required version in dh_makeshlibs to 5.0.27-1 as
    5.0.26 had an ABI breakage in it!
    This is the cause for Perl programs crashing with the following error: 
    "Transactions not supported by database at /usr/lib/perl5/DBI.pm line 672"
  * The old_passwords setting that is set according to a Debconf question is
    now written to /etc/mysql/conf.d/old_passwords.cnf instead directly to the
    conffile /etc/mysql/my.cnf which would be fobidden by policy (thanks to
    Robert Bihlmeyer). Closes: #409750
  * Added some more comments to the default my.cnf.
  [Monty Taylor]
  * Added bison to build dependencies.
  * Added a "start-initial" option to the Data Node init script to support
    initial node starts.
  * Changed NDB Data and Management node startup seqence. Prevented both from
    restarting on upgrade to address rolling upgrade issues.
  * Updated build-depends to depend on automake1.9 instead of automake1.8
    to match what upstream uses.
