[ossipetz]

Package: mysql-server-5.0
Version: 5.0.32-1.dotdeb.1
Severity: important

hallo

when i try to apt-get upgrade the mysql.server-5.0 package it fails with
the following error:
Configuration file `/etc/mysql/my.cnf'
 ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
  ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
     What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
     Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
     N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
     D     : show the differences between the versions
     Z     : background this process to examine the
	 situation
  The default action is to keep your current
  version.
  *** my.cnf (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?

  directories currently installed.)

   Errors were encountered while processing:

    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an
    error code (1)
			    
after this failure the previous mysql-server version is started (so no
fatal thinggie for me)

hopefully this reportbug tool sends the report to the propper maintainer
:)
(mysql-server-5.0 from dotdeb.org)

thanks a lot
