[Bug 203710] Re: mysql-server-5.0 does not prompt for conffile update on upgrades

[Jamie Strandboge]

** Description changed:

  mysql-server-5.0 (at least) does not prompt the user to update its
  conffiles, even though they are listed in /var/lib/dpkg/status.
  
  1. dpkg --purge mysql-server-5.0
  2. apt-get install mysql-server-5.0=<last-version>
  3. update /etc/mysql/debian-start with anything (eg 'echo foo')
  4. apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade
  
  mysql-server-5.0 upgrades without updating the file with no
  confirmation, even though the md5sum is different for /etc/mysql/debian-
  start than what is in /var/lib/dpkg/status.
  
- One ramification of this is that dapper-hardy upgrades will like be
+ One ramification of this is that dapper-hardy upgrades will likely be
  hugely broken as the conffiles won't get upgraded.
