[Emanuel Bronshtein]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mysql-server-5.1

/usr/bin/mysqlhotcopy have format string bugs .

test case :

root at emanuel-desktop:/# /usr/bin/mysqlhotcopy -u root -p "Password" "test" "/tmp/mysqltest" --allowold --keepold
Locked 1 tables in 0 seconds.
Modification of a read-only value attempted at /usr/bin/mysqlhotcopy line 459.

the bug can be found at :
printf "Flushed tables ($hc_tables) in %d seconds.\n", time-$start unless $opt{quiet};

fix :
printf "Flushed tables (%s) in %d seconds.\n", $hc_tables , time-$start unless $opt{quiet};

also here better use %s for $0 :
printf "$0 copied %d tables (%d files) in %d second%s (%d seconds overall).\n",
$num_tables, $num_files,
$hc_dur, ($hc_dur==1)?"":"s", time - $start_time
unless $opt{quiet};
