[debian-mysql] Bug#792354: missing dependency on environment-modules

[Lutz Fischer]

Package: mysql-server-5.6
Version: 5.6.25-4
Followup-For: Bug #792354

Dear Maintainer,

Just updated my system and mysqld failed to start and therefore failed to configure after installation.

The error message I got was:
Starting MySQL database server: mysqld-su: 12: .: Can't open /usr/share/modules/init/sh

After a bit of Internet search I found that this folder is provided by 
environment-modules

So installed that package and mysqld started - and configured ok...

Looks like there is a dependency on that package, but is not mentioned
in mysql-server-5.6.


  * What led up to the situation?
    Update mysqlserver to 5.6 (not sure what version I had before)
  * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
    ineffective)?    ineffectve: plain update
    effective: installing environment-modules
  * What was the outcome of this action?
    mysql-server-5.6 got started and configured
