[debian-mysql] Bug#550994: mysql-dfsg-5.0: Purging mysql-server-5.0 will stop a running mysql-server-5.1 DBMS

[Wolfgang Karall]

Package: mysql-dfsg-5.0
Severity: normal

Hi,

cleaning up after doing a upgrade of one of my systems running sid, I
got mysql-server-5.1 installed.

Afterwards I purged a couple of packages which where only removed
during the upgrade, and got the following result:

Removing mysql-server-5.0 ...
Purging configuration files for mysql-server-5.0 ...
Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld.

Of course, the mysqld running was version 5.1, luckily the DBMS was
not in use at that moment. Some check for the version of the running
daemon would be appreciated nonetheless.

Kind regards,
Wolfgang Karall
