@a7x

rather than file a new one, I'll add in further details to the one that I mentioned in my above post.

Also I'm trying to initiate the path from Chuck Short (post 15 above), but how do I do this?

This is to confirm if his patch is OK an hence show that a regression has occured

I've added the ppa to synaptic, but mysql doesn't come up in the list of available packages from that source?

so I decided to download the file

mysql-server-5.1_5.1.41-3ubuntu12.2_i386.deb

then installed using gdebi, - which kindly tells me that there is a newer version in the repositories.

then I try to start the service, and get the following...

[code]
sudo service mysql start
start: Job failed to start
[/code]

I'm obviously doing something wrong.

OK back to trying the other fixes....
