Bug Description

Installing mysql-server-5.0 (5.0.51a-3ubuntu5) in Ubuntu Hardy fails, if hostname is "localhost".

The reason for this is a "duplicate key" error in ./scripts/mysql_system_tables_data.sql.

I'm attaching a fix for this.

I have confirmed this for hardy.

The bug has been addressed upstream by http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=34461. It has not been added to intrepid yet because it has not be merged yet. It is a simple one liner patch, which I have attached to the bug report.

TEST CASE:

To reproduce it, you have to do the following:

1. Set your hostname to localhost.
2. Install the mysql packages from the repository.
3. In your /var/log/syslog you should see the following:
         Installation of my system tables failed!
4. Try logging in with mysql -u root -p
5. You should not be able to connect.

!!! WARNING - You should probably do this in a virtual machine just in case.

The patch does resolve the issue.

Is it the same problem as bug #226851 ?

I don't think so.
