[Bug 894377] Re: mysql-server failed to upgrade to Precise. mysql main process (4700) terminated with status 7 respawning

[Clint Byrum]

Nov 24 13:39:32 ubuntu mysqld[448]: 111124 13:39:32 [ERROR]
/usr/sbin/mysqld: unknown variable 'lc-messages-dir=/usr/share/mysql'

lc-messages-dir is a MySQL 5.5 only variable, and came from

mysql-common 5.5.17-4ubuntu4

It would seem then that mysql-common from 5.5 needs to declare that it
breaks mysql-server-5.1 so that they are configured and replaced in the
proper order.. mysql-server-5.1 will be removed in 12.04, but we need to
make sure the upgrade is handled properly.

We should also think about changing the automated tests to test
upgrading *mysql-server* not *mysql-server-5.1* since 12.04 will have
mysql-server-5.5.

Marking Triaged, changing title to reflect what the real problem is
(that 5.1 needs to be removed from 12.04). Marking Importance High and
targetting to alpha2.

** Changed in: mysql-5.1 (Ubuntu Precise)
       Status: New => Triaged

** Summary changed:

- mysql-server failed to upgrade to Precise. mysql main process (4700) terminated with status 7 respawning
+ mysql-server-5.1is deprecated for mysql-server-5.5 in precise, should be removed once transition is complete

** Changed in: mysql-5.1 (Ubuntu Precise)
    Milestone: precise-alpha-1 => precise-alpha-2
