reopen 594635 reassign 594635 mysql-server retitle 594635 mysql-server: upgrade from lenny to squeeze incomplete+broken thanks <jcristau> h01ger: i don't think the mysql upgrade problem was ever resolved in squeeze <weasel> the bind9 not stopping and breaking reboot/poweroff issue also was never fixed in squeeze. that hit me every time. * weasel was quite disappointed by how that was handled by the maintainer <jcristau> there's this thing called nmus <jcristau> it's not too late <h01ger> jcristau, will check (and if so, reopen and reassign to mysql). its just so easy to workaround (apt-get install the new one) <weasel> maybe. I had asked the maintainer a couple times if he'll do a stable update and always was told soon. and now I have upgraded everywhere, I think. and it is quite late for it. <jcristau> h01ger: it's ridiculous that it wasn't fixed in the last 2 years, but yeah. <h01ger> yeah <jcristau> weasel: don't believe people who tell you "soon" <weasel> jcristau: well. yeha. <h01ger> so upgrading from lenny2squeeze with mysql-server-5.0 installed, works nicely. it just doesnt upgrade mysql-server-5.0, but, besides that, the general lenny2squeeze upgrade works fine. now, lets see how a lenny system with also mysql-server installed behaves: it removes -server and server-5.0 and installs -server-core-5.1 but not -server-5.1 * h01ger wonders about this core package... and not the real one <KiBi> why is that relevant when we're trying to release wheezy? <h01ger> and i wonder whether i really want to reopen. it definitly would be expected, to have mysql-server working after an upgrade... but even though its fixable via squeeze today, i doubt it will be done <h01ger> KiBi, cause stable is still supported and i'm going through the old upgrade-reports so that the new, meaningful ones, dont get lost in the noise. sometimes this creates some noise. <h01ger> that said i'm not sure that reopening 594635, reassigning to mysql- server and telling them that they were bad maintainers in the lenny2squeeze cycle is a really fantastic idea. IOW: debian has bugs and sometimes we dont handle them as well as we could. /me shrugs. <jcristau> nobody suggested that <jcristau> i'm saying we should fix it, not tell people they're bad maintainers * h01ger nods <jcristau> which means somebody figures out a patch, and gets srm to accept it. or nobody does, and the bug is closed when squeeze is archived. <h01ger> jcristau, ack. sending this to the bug TL;TR: <h01ger> so upgrading from lenny2squeeze with mysql-server-5.0 installed, works nicely. it just doesnt upgrade mysql-server-5.0, but, besides that, the general lenny2squeeze upgrade works fine. now, lets see how a lenny system with also mysql-server installed behaves: it removes -server and server-5.0 and installs -server-core-5.1 but not -server-5.1
