[debian-mysql] Bug#664639: mysql-client-5.1: mysqladmin flush-logs fails

[Bjoern Boschman]

Package: mysql-client-5.1
Version: 5.1.61-0+squeeze1
Severity: normal

Hi folks,

I have a fresh installed 5.1.61 mysql-server
logrotate.d runs a daily mysqladmin flush-logs

this fails with the following error:

/usr/bin/mysqladmin: refresh failed; error: 'Unknown error'

Somehow this is not happening on every mysql-server (5.1.61) which I am running?
