Bug#594635: this can and should be fixed in squeeze



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:
