[debian-mysql] Bug#675304: reassigning

[Nicholas Bamber]

reassign 675304 amarok
thanks

I am much clearer about this now. This bug is clearly a duplicate of 
#672207.

That said I think we could have instead of changing

" language        = /usr/share/mysql/english"

to

"lc-messages-dir = /usr/share/mysql"

changed it to

"
loose-lc-messages-dir = /usr/share/mysql/
# This option is deprecated and will be removed in a later version
language        = /usr/share/mysql/english
"

This would have maintained backwards compatibility and removed the need 
for the Breaks clauses.

However it is also clear that an application with an embedded MySQL 
server, like amarok, should avoiding making use of system wide MySQL 
config files to insulate itself not  just to changes in the Debian 
packaging but also changes that the DBA makes to the MySQL 
configuration. amarok seems to have done this now.

I am trying to draw wider lessons from this, but for now I am 
reassigning this report to amarok, with the expectation that one of more 
of the following will happen:

1.) The bug will be merged into #672207 effectively closing it.
2.) That it will be reassigned to a request to have amarok aged so that 
the user can upgrade his amarok.
