[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#398631: nagios-mysql: postinst fails: No mysql client to execute. (have you installed mysql-client?

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Package: nagios-mysql
Version: 1.4-2
Severity: serious
Usertags: grid5000

Hi,

During a piuparts run over all the packages in etch, I ran into a
problem with your package:
  Setting up nagios-mysql (1.4-2) ...
  dbconfig-common: writing config to
/etc/dbconfig-common/nagios-mysql.conf
  
  Creating config file /etc/dbconfig-common/nagios-mysql.conf with new
version
  
  Creating config file /etc/nagios/database.cfg with new version
  sanity check failed for mysql.
  error encountered creating user:
  No mysql client to execute. (have you installed mysql-client?
  dbconfig-common: nagios-mysql configure: aborted.
  dbconfig-common: flushing administrative password
  dpkg: error processing nagios-mysql (--configure):
   subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

In http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=353617#10:
  if you depend on dbconfig-common, then you also need to depend on
  the cmdline tools for the database types you support.  otherwise
  you'd have to install postgres clients and libraries even if you
  were packaging a mysql app and vice versa.

The full log is available from 
http://ox.blop.info/bazaar/buildlogs/20061114/

The piuparts run was done on about 40 AMD64 nodes of the Grid'5000
platform, using a clean chroot containing an etch i386 environment
(not unstable).  Internet was not accessible from the build systems.
