[debian-mysql] Bug#810968: Bug#810968: mariadb-server-10.0: Logrotate exists 1 if a non-debian mysqld is running (e.g. containerized mysqld)

[Otto Kekäläinen]

Thanks Lennart, the patch is much nicer to read now.

It seems to rely on the fact that it should find the line 'pid-file =
/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid' in the file /etc/mysql/my.cnf

However, since the new mysql/mariadb config decoupling effort (driven
by Ubuntu developers) the file /etc/mysql/my.cnf is no longer the main
config file itself, and does not contain the pid line.

The actual line is now found in:
grep pid /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/*
/etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf:pid-file        =
/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

Ironically simply assuming the exact location
/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid would be more reliable than grepping the
configs :)

I am glad the fix works in your situation in Debian Jessie.
Unfortunately we need to think a bit more to come up with a universal
solution.. I am happy to review any alternative solutions/patches
anybody posts to this issue.
