[debian-mysql] Bug#458213: mysql-server-5.0: fails to upgrade

[Witold Baryluk]

The problem seems to be in mysql-server-5.0.preinst line 123, which
is assuming that destination doesn't exist. This is as you can
see not true.

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root     root    9 2007-04-13 23:00 mysql -> /db/mysql

drwxr-xr-x  2 root     root 4,0K 2007-12-29 16:15 mysql-upgrade


$ ls -lah /var/lib/mysql* | grep mysql
