Bug Description
Hi All,
I'm using a 64-bit version of Ubuntu 9.10 server on an Amazon EC2 instance. Since a couple weeks ago, "sudo apt-get upgrade" has failed because it can't upgrade MySQL successfully. When I run apt-get upgrade, the server downloads the latest MySQL files and stops the MySQL daemon in order to upgrade the server. But then it fails when trying to start MySQL.
When I investigated the cause of this error, I realized that the cause of the problem is that the "sudo apt-get upgrade" creates 2 binary log files which have the root:root account and group as the owner. These binary log files are in the directory /var/lib/mysql/ and have names like mysql-bin.000107. I'm not sure why "sudo apt-get upgrade" creates 2 files, but it always seems to create 2 files. When I change the owner of these binary log files to mysql:mysql, then MySQL successfully starts.
As a result of this bug, I haven't been able to successfully run sudo apt-get upgrade for a couple weeks. Any help or advice would be appreciated!
Here is info about my server.
Output from lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10
Amazon EC2 AMI: I created my own AMI but built it on top of the official Canonical Ubuntu 64-bit 9.10 AMI in December, 2009.
