[Bug 354585] Re: mysql server fails to start if existing /var/lib/mysql is not owned by mysql user

[Mathias Gug]

The maintainer scripts should have fixed the ownership of the
/var/lib/mysql/.

According to the apt terminal log the error is:

Configurando mysql-server-5.1 (5.1.31-1ubuntu2) ...

 * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld       [ OK ]

 * Starting MySQL database server mysqld         [fail]

Do you still have the content of /var/log/daemon.log at the time of the
upgrade to help figure out why mysqld failed to start?

** Changed in: mysql-dfsg-5.1 (Ubuntu)
       Status: Triaged => Incomplete

** Summary changed:

- mysql server fails to start if existing /var/lib/mysql is not owned by mysql user
+ mysql server fails to start in postinst on package upgrade
