I just did a fresh install of MySql (mysql-5.0.24a-1) from current, and am getting an error when attempting to set the root password, using
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'MyPassword'
The error that returns is
/usr/bin/mysqladmin: Could not determine old_passwords setting from server; error: 'Commands out of sync; you can't run this command now'
I've never run into this before, so I'm not sure what is going on. I have the same version installed on other boxes, but they were upgraded rather than a fresh install. Has anyone else seen this?
Okay, it seems that I had to install the libmysqlclient.
pacman -S libmysqlclient
:: libmysqlclient-5.0.24-1: local version is newer. Upgrade anyway? [Y/n] y
Targets: libmysqlclient-5.0.24a-1
Total Package Size: 2.7 MB
Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n]
That fixed it. I don't know if it broke the depends for cyrus-sasl-plugin, but I'm not using that yet.
