[debian-mysql] Bug#582955: mysql-server-5.1: Minor grammar infelicity in debian-start script.

[C. Scott Ananian]

Package: mysql-server-5.1
Version: 5.1.46-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

The bootup text about "upgrade needing tables" is awkward English and has
bothered me for some time now.  Yes, it's a really minor thing, but it's
bugged me long enough that I've finally put a patch together to fix it.
Attached please find a patch to /etc/mysql/debian-start which makes the boot
message read more smoothly.
