Bug Description
Binary package hint: mtop
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04
mtop:
Installed: 0.6.6-1.2
Depends: perl, debconf (>= 1.2.9) | debconf-2.0, libcurses-perl, libdbd-mysql-perl, libnet-perl, mysql-client
Recommends: mysql-server
However, the the install fails if mysql-server is NOT installed.
Setting up mtop (0.6.6-1.2) ...
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/
dpkg: error processing mtop (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Apparently it tries to connect to a local mysql server. This means that it should fail gracefully if no mysql server is present, which is a valid use-case scenario (mtopping a remote mysql server, for example).
Can you confirm this bug for Intrepid?
