<br>(reply from Nicholas Bamber <<a href="mailto:nicholas@periapt.co.uk">nicholas@periapt.co.uk</a>>)<br><br><br>1.) What version are you upgrading from?<br><br> from 5.5.24+dfsg-6 to 5.5.24+dfsg-7 on Wheezy mirrors.<br>
Using mysql-workbench as gui.<br> <br> <br>2.) Have you tried using apt rather than synaptic? (So yes I better have a play with synaptic but I cannot just now).<br><br> I have used Synaptic and "gpk-application" (install/remove packages) i think both install package the same way...<br>
<br><br>3.) Can you try breaking down the process so we can pinpoint more exactly where the issue is. <br> Remove the reverse dependency packages for a start, stopping the server manually and so on.<br> <br> I have update-notifier package installed, so i'm getting a message when a newer version is available<br>
fist the packages an dependencies are being downloaded and then installed. At the point where mysql-server <br> needs to be restarted, it fails... the /etc/init.d/mysql script can't start/stop the server, so upgrade fails<br>
<br> maybe i need to add myself to sudoers file? <br> <br>4.) I assume you can start/stop the server normally?<br><br> as root yes, when mysql-server installed for first time, all works fine...<br> <br>
<br>5.) Looking at the attached files it seems that you are upgrading from a version where innodb is a plugin and that the <br> errors appear to be in that area, to one where it is built in. Any relevant information would appreciated.<br>
<br> by default mysql uses InnoDB, much safer than MyISAM. I found information about mysql in /var/log/syslog(.log)<br> this is on startup. (see "syslog-mysql.txt") also added my.cnf configuration file.<br>
<br>6.) The phrase "STILL..!!" seems to imply something. However I am missing that implication. Please elaborate.<br><br> the problem is there from from 5.5.24+dfsg-4 and up...<br> see bugreports:<br> <br>
