[debian-mysql] Bug#584677: mysql-server: Error 1577 on upgrade to 5.1

[Gordon Haverland]

Package: mysql-server
Version: 5.1.47-1
Severity: normal

Yesterday I upgraded to KDE-4.4, and this pulled in an upgrade to
mysql-server-5.1.  Quite a while ago I had removed most Debian packages
which could be run with some other dbase (preferring PostgreSQL and SQLite),
I don't think it was being used by much.

In any event, upon upgrading to 5.1, I got a message about this 1577
error, and something to do with Events.  Looking on the Internet a bit,
it seemed that a person needed to run some command with a --force switch,
to fix the table involved.  I have no idea if it worked, and mysqld seems
to be running.
