[debian-mysql] Bug#572195: mysql-server: Upgrade causes scan of entire hard drive

[Neil McGovern]

Package: mysql-server
Version: 5.0.51a-24+lenny2
Severity: important

Hi,

When upgrading to the latest security fix, I noticed that it was taking
a *long* time to upgrade, and my disk was thrashing. It seems that the
the preinst scans for .ISM files. However, the lines two above which
sets cvt_datadir is null for me, so the `find' path isn't set.
