5.5.18 from the overlay fails this as well. This also causes digikam to fail during configure.
Can you poke the manual version more, perhaps with verbose? Other options to try: --force --skip-name-resolve --no-defaults
seem to recall that 5.5 `mysql_upgrade` does not work if $PWD != /usr may be it's a problem with paths?
The same with 5.5.19 (from tree): /usr/share/mysql/scripts/mysql_install_db FATAL ERROR: Could not find ./bin/my_print_defaults If you compiled from source, you need to run 'make install' to copy the software into the correct location ready for operation. If you are using a binary release, you must either be at the top level of the extracted archive, or pass the --basedir option pointing to that location.

I just stumbled across this error in dev-db/mysql-5.5.16 and 5.5.19; the ebuild doesn't seem to install mysql_install_db in /usr/bin, it's present in /usr/share/mysql/scripts/ though. The emerge --config command fails, but I ran /usr/share/mysql/mysql_install_db --basedir=/usr --user=mysql, and it does work.
This bug still applies to =dev-db/mysql-5.5.22-r1
The workaround mentioned in comment #5 works (mysql-5.5.22-r1). Complete command with correct path: /usr/share/mysql/scripts/mysql_install_db --basedir=/usr --user=mysql
Thanks for the workaround, i'll try that. Just confirmed bug is still present in mariadb-5.5.23
(In reply to comment #7) > The workaround mentioned in comment #5 works (mysql-5.5.22-r1). > Complete command with correct path: > > /usr/share/mysql/scripts/mysql_install_db --basedir=/usr --user=mysql A better solution may be to add the following to my.cnf on install: [mysql_install_db] basedir={$EPREFIX}/usr
This bug still occurs with mysql 5.5.27. Why is the status not changed to confirmed.
Fixed in CVS now.
