Bug Description

Don't know why but the owner for this directory keeps changing. It should be mysql.mysql but sometimes gets mysql.root, it makes mysql client unable to connect (ERROR 2002 - Unable to connect using socket...). Also chmod should be 755 which isnt.

Because of the directory not being chmodded 755, postfix-mysql is unable to connect to mysql when you reboot the server...

chmod o+rx /var/run/mysql in /etc/init.d/mysql ? ;) or chmod 755.

Is there a workaround for this, short of changing owner/permission at every boot up?

Putting "chmod o+rx /var/run/mysqld" in /etc/init.d/mysql is the best workaround afaik.. It's strange that it takes this long to get it fixed.. clamav and jabberd have the same issues, and they're all easy to fix... :$

I upgraded just recently to the new version and that gave me mysql.dpkg-new files in init.d/.

I have not edited the mysql-files in init.d/

Sorry. Forget about my last comment. It was becaus the upgrade was not finished. It had stopped to ask me for a question and just not installed the new files yet. My bad. :(
