[debian-mysql] Bug#492016: mysql upgrade problem

[Zsombor BOLYÓCZKI]

Package: mysql-server-5.0
Version: [5.0.32-7etch5] (5.0.32-7etch6 Debian-Security:4.0/stable)
System: Debian Etch

I think there is a bug in mysql configuration scripts.
I regurarly use "apt-get upgrade -s" and "apt-get upgrade" to keep my server up to date.
This morning I did the same to upgrade my mysql server.
After "apt-get upgrade" I got the following messages:

-----------------------

-----------------------

As it can be seen in the 2nd line, the /tmp is mounted with noexec flag so the upgrade failed.

At the moment the mysql server seems to be all right but we count on some unexpected problems.


Thank you.
