Subject: /usr/share/mysql/charsets/Index.xml should be shipped in mysql-common
Package: mysql-common
Version: 5.0.32-7etch5
Severity: important


I rebuilt aprutil with mysql support, but when trying to use it I get a
crash, and the following backtrace (password deleted for obvious reasons):
#0  0x4020c143 in my_stat (path=0xbfffe7bc "/usr/share/mysql/charsets/Index.xml", stat_area=0xbfffe72c, my_flags=0) at my_lib.c:650

[backtrace snipped as the rest is irrelevant to the mysql-common package]

This file is shipped with mysql-server, but appears to be necessary for
clients too under certain conditions.
The fix obvious, though I'm not 100% certain if this is the complete
fix. Append the following line to debian/mysql-common.files:
usr/share/mysql/charsets/Index.xml

I'm not actually sure if the other files in that dir are needed, but at
least it prevents apache from segfaulting.

Version: 5.0.51a-24+lenny1

The lenny version has all charsets compiled in and does not segfault if
you specify a different one:

$ mysql --default-character-set=dec8 -h localhost
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

$ mysql --default-character-set=xxx -h localhost
mysql: Character set 'xxx' is not a compiled character set and is not specified in the '/usr/share/mysql/charsets/Index.xml' file

bye,
