Package: cacti
Version: 0.8.7g-1+squeeze1
Severity: minor

When I run "dpkg-reconfigure cacti" it asks me: "Reinstall database for cacti?"
but although I answer "Yes", it complains:

> An error occurred while installing the database:
>
> mysql said: ERROR 1050 (42S01) at line 5: Table 'cdef' already exists

 ... unless I first: "mysqladmin drop cacti"
