mysql does not update
*Sigh*, again, a problem with mysql on my ubuntu eee-box server. This time, I could not update the fix package for mysql-server. It turned out that there was a user missing – but NOT, as I initially thought, a Linux user, but a mysql user. I found an entry in the ubuntu forums that helped [...]
