in dapper, mysql has no default charset setting in /etc/mysql/my.cnf. So. mysql select latin1 for default charset. but it has problem with input cjk into database.
and mysql has it's own localization files in /usr/share/mysql/. but in korean. it was encoded with euc-kr. so i must changed my terminal encode to euc-kr for use it.
since ubuntu recommend utf8 environment, i think that mysql also support utf8 by default is better.
Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'mysql'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.
