[SOLVED] mysql error

ozar · 2009-11-18 18:17:15

I've seen the front page news and the recent threads about mysql changes, but I don't see this particular issue mentioned. After just completing the upgrading of the libmysqlclient, mysql, mysqlclients, and akonadi packages, I receive the following error in the pacman printout:

chown: invalid user: 'mysql:mysql'
error: command failed to execute correctly

Do I need to do anything about this or should I continue using Arch as usual?

Thanks to anyone that knows.

Hmm, I just got this too.

Oddly, when I upgraded ony of my machines from 5.1.40, which I caught just this morning, to 5.1.41 it works OK. On another machine going directly from 5.1.39 to 5.1.41 I get the error message.

Not sure what the right fix is at the moment though.

Hi, people who never started mysql will get this error message.
I will fix this in mysql 5.1.41-2, but if you can't wait do this:

# groupadd -g 89 mysql
# useradd -u 89 -g mysql -d /var/lib/mysql -s /bin/false mysql
# pacman -Syu

anyway # pacman -Rd mysql, pacman -S mysql, should fix this too.

Thanks for the fix. I just realised I got this on a machine that had never started mysql as when I tried to start it it complained that /var/lib/mysql did not exist.

By the way, I know it's kind of bad form to hijack a topic, but the (separate) InnoDB plugin that is supposed to be a standard part of the mysql installation/build as from 5.1.38 does not seem to get installed anywhere. Is this deliberate for some reason?

Thanks,
Gary.

no, as I wrote here, I'll enable it in the 5.1.41-2 release

Thanks for the tip, bash!

I did this one and it seemed to work well.

OK, thanks, everything seems to be working OK now for me, but still no InnoDB plugin installed. In fact no plugins directory at all.

Thanks again,
Gary.
