Cannot connect to MySQL server using libmysql5.0-cil 5.2.1+dfsg-1

[Thomas Koster]

Binary package hint: libmysql5.0-cil

As stated at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=491407 libmysql5.0-cil 5.2.1+dfsg-1 has problems connecting to some MySQL databases.
Debian say it will be fixed in 5.2.1-dfsg-2.

5.2.1-dfsg-2 is available in lenny and I can confirm that it fixes the original bug (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=491407) on my intrepid.

I confirm : I'm running Ubuntu Desktop 8.10 64 bits and I'm unable to connect to MySQL (5.0.67-0ubuntu6) with Mono (1.9.1+dfsg-4ubuntu2) and Apache (2.2.9-7ubuntu3 + mono-apache-server2 1.9.1-2). This is a critical error.

On an ASP.NET Web Form, when I try a MySQL connection, I get the following error :

"Stream is not a valid .resources file, magic=0x6d783f3c
Description: HTTP 500. Error processing request.

Stack Trace:

Version information: Mono Version: 2.0.50727.42; ASP.NET Version: 2.0.50727.42"

Installing libmysql5.0-cil 5.2.1+dfsg-2 from Jaunty solved the problem.

This package is broken in Intrepid, fixed in Jaunty and above
