[debian-mysql] Bug#487993: /usr/share/mysql/charsets/Index.xml should be shipped in mysql-common

[Jan Van Buggenhout]

Subject: /usr/share/mysql/charsets/Index.xml should be shipped in mysql-common
Package: mysql-common
Version: 5.0.32-7etch5
Severity: important


I rebuilt aprutil with mysql support, but when trying to use it I get a
crash, and the following backtrace (password deleted for obvious reasons):
#0  0x4020c143 in my_stat (path=0xbfffe7bc "/usr/share/mysql/charsets/Index.xml", stat_area=0xbfffe72c, my_flags=0) at my_lib.c:650

[backtrace snipped as the rest is irrelevant to the mysql-common package]

This file is shipped with mysql-server, but appears to be necessary for
clients too under certain conditions.
The fix obvious, though I'm not 100% certain if this is the complete
fix. Append the following line to debian/mysql-common.files:
usr/share/mysql/charsets/Index.xml

I'm not actually sure if the other files in that dir are needed, but at
least it prevents apache from segfaulting.
