[Bug 342578] [NEW] mysqldump doesn't pick up /etc/mysql/my.cnf

[Thomas]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mysql-client-5.0

Ubuntu 8.04.1
mysql-client-5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.1

/usr/bin/mysqldump doesn't read /etc/mysql/my.cnf - it tries to read
/etc/my.cnf  and $HOMEDIR/.my.cnf, but thats it. An upstream, i.e.
debian fellow told me that the debian package does work as it should.
I've helped myself out with a symlink from /etc/my.cnf, but this should
be fixed.

Yes, I know mysql-5.1 will also look for /etc/mysql/my.cnf
(http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/option-files.html), but again,
this is still 5.0.

** Affects: mysql-dfsg-5.0 (Ubuntu)
