Description Michael Biebl 2006-02-08 19:34:41 UTC

After upgrading to mysql-5.0.18-r30 I followed the instructions at 
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/mysql-upgrade-slotted.xml
This failed unfortunately.
For "eselect mysql set 1" to work I had to change /var/lib/eselect/mysql/mysql-500.filelist and replace all manpages with the gzipped one,
e.g usr/share/man/man1/mysql-500.1.gz instead of usr/share/man/man1/mysql-500.1
Otherwise eselect fails with this error message:
!!! Error: File "/usr/share/man/man1/myisampack-500.1" is not suitable for symlink (1)
exiting.

fixed in eselect-mysql-1.0.0-r4 to avoid mass recompilation of dev-db/mysql

the real fix however stay in mysql.eclass.
