[Bug 594932] [NEW] MySQL cannot access it's plugin directory (AppArmor rule)

[Caspar Clemens Mierau]

Public bug reported:

The MySQL server 5.1 in Ubuntu Lucid ships the InnoBase InnoDb plugin in
/usr/lib/mysql/plugin/. Though this directory belongs to the MySQL
server package it is not allowed by AppArmor. The shipped InnoDb plugin
in this directory therefore can only be loaded by adding something like:

/usr/lib/mysql/plugin/ r,
/usr/lib/mysql/plugin/ mr

to

/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld

Please note: This is about "InnoDb plugin", not the default InnoDb
engine.

** Affects: mysql-dfsg-5.1 (Ubuntu)
