Package: mysql-server-core-5.1
Version: 5.1.45-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


Mysqld fails to start after most recent upgrade, dated April 10th. 
Problem appears to be incorrect filename in /etc/init.d/mysql which 
checks existence of /usr/sbin/mysqld but invokes /usr/bin/mysqld_safe, 
which does not exist. Changing that name to /usr/sbin/mysqld appears to 
allow normal starting, but with errors. The source file 
/usr/share/mysql/debian-start.inc.sh which is referenced in 
/etc/mysql/debian-start does not exist, so the commands used in 
debian-start are not found. The mysql files under /etc all have old 
dates, though they agree with the April 10th contents of 
/usr/share/mysql-common/internal-use-only, in using incorrect or missing 
filenames.
