Package: mysql-common
Version: 5.0.67-1
Severity: important

Hello, after upgrade mysql-common from 5.0.51a-16 to 5.0.67-1, mysqld does not
start. The syslog output shows:

Nov  3 07:16:28 icaro mysqld_safe[4479]: started
Nov  3 07:16:28 icaro mysqld[4483]: 081103  7:16:28 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: unknown option '--skip-federated'
Nov  3 07:16:28 icaro mysqld[4483]:
Nov  3 07:16:28 icaro mysqld_safe[4485]: ended

After editing the file '/etc/mysql/my.cnf', commenting the line 107, the server
start successfuly.

104 # The FEDERATED storage engine is disabled since 5.0.67 by default in the .cnf files
