Hi, Peter! Thanks for the info, and sorry for the troubles. This is our bug https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-3882 that we want to have fixed in the 5.5.29 (which is to be releases, basically, any day now). On Jan 24, Peter W Bowey wrote:
Hi MariaDB Team,
Ubuntu released a update 23 hours ago that 'smashed out' omega8.cc's careful work to support MariaDB 5.5.28-mariadb-a1~precise. Ubuntu's new version is '5.5.29-0ubuntu012.10.1' dated - 2013-01-22 15:07:08 UTC. This does not work yet with MariaDB & Ubuntu 12.04
See Link here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+source/mysql-5.5/5.5.29-0ubuntu0.12..1...
Now, I have been 'battling for hours' to work around this Ubuntu pain, while we wait on the good MariaDB team to re-syncs it's own updates with the Ubuntu 12.04 updates.
Regards, Sergei
