[debian-mysql] Bug#609897: Bug#609897: mysql-server-core-5.1: "Mysqld failed" message on boot (still there)

Dear Norbert

> Could you please check if /etc/init.d/mysql checks for mysqld_safe in
> line 20 on your system?

No, it tests -x /usr/sbin/mysqld
(but the #13 mentions mysqld_safe)

So, if I understand well, 
either my /usr/sbin/mysqld does not correspond to >= 5.1.49-2 (for which reason has not been updated?)
or /usr/sbin/mysqld v5.1.49-2 is still buggy... 
I attach my version of /usr/sbin/mysqld

No, I do not think so (I do not use mysql at all).

No
