MySQL 5.1.36 is available for Debian “Etch” and “Lenny”

July 23rd, 2009 | by Guillaume Plessis |

MySQL 5.1.36 is now available on Dotdeb for Debian 4.0 “Etch” / Debian 5.0 “Lenny” in amd64/i386 flavours.

It fixes a lot of annoying bugs (read the list of changes to be convicted), especially one about granting the right privileges during the Debian post-installation process. The mysql-server-5.1 package should now install without needing any ugly trick.

Please upgrade your servers.

    I get a

    Starting MySQL database server: mysqld/etc/init.d/mysql: line 111: 21634 Segmentation fault /usr/bin/mysqld_safe > /dev/null 2>&1
    . . . . . . . . . . . . . . failed!

    while upgrading.

    Is that one already known or should I provide further information, e.g. an strace or something?

    … solved. Seems that your 5.1.36 doesn’t like your libgoogle-perftools0. After uninstalling and removing from the initscript, mysql runs fine.

    I’m on Ubuntu 9.04 and I get this error when I try to update:
    E: /var/cache/apt/archives/mysql-server-5.1_5.1.36-0.dotdeb.1_amd64.deb: underproces nyt pre-removal-script returnerede afslutningsstatus 1

    @Anders : Ubuntu is not supported by Dotdeb. Please check your logfiles and error messages to know why it crashes.

    @Guillaume Plessis : I know that ubuntu is not supported, but it has been working 100% fine until now.

    The problem was that MySQL could not stop for some reason. I had to kill the MySQL processes as desribed here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5195967&postcount=5, and then update after.

    Thanks for keeping PHP and MySQL up-to-date ;D
