[debian-mysql] Bug#708176: mysql-server-5.5 postinst SQL error 1064 syntax error

[Bob Proulx]

Package: mysql-server-5.5
Version: 5.5.30+dfsg-1.1
Severity: normal

After upgrading to Wheezy I am now seeing this error message in the logs.

  May 13 07:17:19 devastation mysqld_safe[8596]: ERROR: 1064  You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ALTER TABLE user ADD column Show_view_priv enum('N','Y') CHARACTER SET utf8 NOT ' at line 1

This can be created by:

  apt-get install --reinstall mysql-server-5.5
