          Description

          When installing mariadb 5.2 from downloaded .deb packages on debian lenny, there's a few problems i run into. I'm not sure which causes what, but here's a small list. Terminal output is attached.

          • There's a message about debian-sys-maint access denied.
          • There's a message that Innodb is disabled, yet it shows up in a show engines statement.
          • the default config file contains options that generate warnings on server start
          • The server won't properly shutdown.

                Re: When installing 5.2 from debian packages, debian-sys-maint user is misconfigured
                Summary of effect on users:

                This affects new installs of .debs for MariaDB 5.2. Upgrading from earlier version is not affected, nor is 5.1 or installing from other source than .deb.

                The symptom is that /etc/init.d/mysql stop does not work, nor does reload, status, etc.

                We will upload new .deb packages shortly. Installing the new package should fix the problem. However, as shutdown of the old server is broken, it may be necessary to manually stop the old server with something like this:

                sudo kill -TERM $(pidof mysqld)

                The new, fixed .deb packages have version string 5.2.3-mariadb90, while the old ones have version string 5.2.3-mariadb87

                Haven't verified but since we're at 5.2.4 now, I presume this is released?

                just marking this as "invalid" in OurDelta project, since MariaDB 5.2 is built within the Maria project (its build scripts are just based on OurDelta's, but naturally evolve)
