I'm looking at my email inbox after some of the recent activity in |
2 |
revdep-rebuilds (whew!) |

and standing out among the exhortations is this from MySQL (int part) |

WARN: unpack |

Previous datadir found, it's YOUR job to change |

ownership and take care of it. |

There's something off about this. I never have used MySQL in person, though |
11 |
I'm guessing it gets used by some packages. So what am I to make of a message |
12 |
like this? The ownership and permissions look okay to me. And I have no |
13 |
idea what it means to "take care of it". |
14 |
|
15 |
I don't expect myself to be clueful about all the hundreds (thousands?) of |
16 |
packages I have installed. I'd like them to be a bit more helpful, and perhaps |
17 |
careful to state what the problem actually is, or might be. Courteous wouldn't |
18 |
be a bad idea either. |
