The mariadb-10.0.17-exp1 at the moment in Debian experimental is broken due to inclusion of an early version of this change, so I hope we could get it completed soon so that I don't have to revert the whole passwordless root account feature (which has been requested by many).
I started to look that we are going to have to wait for a long time for the new mysql-common version to be provided by the new MySQL package in Debian experimental, so I now changed the MariaDB packaging so that it takes care of generating its own symlink fully automatically, and it seems that was the only issue with the packaging at the moment, so now it works. Latest version is built and available now at the 'deb http://labs.seravo.fi/~otto/mariadb-repo/ mariadb-10.0-sid-amd64/' repo. Daniel Black: does the below look OK to you? MariaDB [mysql]> select host,user,password,plugin from user; +-----------+------+----------+-------------+ | host | user | password | plugin | +-----------+------+----------+-------------+ | localhost | root | | unix_socket | | 127.0.0.1 | root | | | | ::1 | root | | | +-----------+------+----------+-------------+ The syslog has a complaint about there being two root accounts that are both passwordless and pluginless.
