[debian-mysql] Bug#504396: mysql-server: cannot start mysql service after upgrade to 5.0.67-1

[Didrik Pinte]

Package: mysql-server
Version: 5.0.67-1
Severity: normal


Hi,

I've made safe-upgrade this morning. mysql-server was upgraded to version
5.0.67. After the upgrade (that seems to ran fine), I cannot start the mysql
service anymore : 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ddp:/home/did# /etc/init.d/mysql start
Starting MySQL database server: mysqld . . . . . . . . . . . . . . failed!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Syslog says the following :

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nov  3 14:15:13 localhost /etc/init.d/mysql[29954]: 0 processes alive and
'/usr/bin/mysqladmin --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf ping' resulted in
Nov  3 14:15:13 localhost /etc/init.d/mysql[29954]: #007/usr/bin/mysqladmin:
connect to server at 'localhost' failed
Nov  3 14:15:13 localhost /etc/init.d/mysql[29954]: error: 'Can't connect to
local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)'
Nov  3 14:15:13 localhost /etc/init.d/mysql[29954]: Check that mysqld is
running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists!
Nov  3 14:15:13 localhost /etc/init.d/mysql[29954]:

I can provide more information if needed.
