[Bug 666383] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.6 failed to install/upgrade: [SRU] infinite loop in /etc/init/mysql.conf if mysqld is not running

[IAmDaveMyers]

Can confirm that a install from source works fine (following instruction
on the MySQL site / docs)

Only bother is that when moving the automatic startup script into
/etc/init.d/ I get a warning about the job now being in upstart, will
this cause me any problems?

Question is, how do the  scripts differ?

I understand that at the start there is a 'loop' that waits for the
network interface to come up, and a few other things.

I believe that the Mysql server startup script doesn't run until the
system reaches 'run level 3'.

I'm not fully conversant with the use of upstart (but I do understand
the idea). If there is any further info I can give I will be happy to
help.

ps. I am also available to do an install from an RPM - if there is an
'upstart' version being packaged.

Also as this seems to be a 'regression' I am happy to try the 'old' .deb
installers so see which one of worked, eliminating untill we find where
we all got it so horribly wrong, but I only seem able to find the
'current' version.

David
