[Bug 516437] Re: Try to install mysql-server and get hundreds of blocking 'logger: [-x] [-p log_facility] [-t tag] message' messages.

[ikpetroff]

I finally found waht the problem is:

the script '/usr/bin/logger'. In a brand new Ubuntu 8.04 installation
this is actually an ELF executable. But on my old Ubuntu 8.04 (but
regularly updated) OS is was a shell script.

I simply inserted on the first line the command 'exit' to avoid the
script to run its bugs. It solved the problem.

Finally I copied the executable from another and fresher Ubuntu 8.04
installation.

Yet I don't know why '/usr/bin/logger' hadn't been updated correctly...
