RHBA-2014:0612 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated mysql55 packages that fix several bugs are now available for Red Hat
Software Collections 1.1 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

[Updated 6 June 2014]
This advisory has been updated with the correct version of the mysql55 packages.
This update does not change the packages in any way.

Description

MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. It consists of the
MySQL server daemon, mysqld, and many client programs and libraries.

The mysql55 packages have been upgraded to upstream version 5.5.37, which
provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.

This update also fixes the following bugs:

• Prior to this update, the MySQL server attempted to verify if the MySQL socket

existed, but did not take into consideration whether any processes were using
it. As a consequence, if the MySQL server terminated unexpectedly, the MySQL
socket was not reset after the reboot, and thus prevented the MySQL server from
restarting correctly. With this update, the MySQL server no longer attempts to
verify the existence of a MySQL socket when the socket is not being used by any
processes. As a result, the MySQL server can now be successfully restarted after
a crash occurs. (BZ#1037749)

• Previously, not all files in an RPM package were correctly owned by the

corresponding collection. As a consequence, when the mysql55 Software Collection
was removed, some files remained in the /opt/rh/mysql55/root/ directory. With
this update, all files in the mysql55 collection are owned properly and no
redundant files are left after the collection is removed. (BZ#1079919)

Users of mysql55 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs and add these enhancements. After installing this update, the MySQL
server daemon, mysqld, will be restarted automatically.
