Hi,
This has nothing to do with a new schema but just with the $table_prefix
option. It's set to "wp_" by default in the precise package but AFAIK it
has been that way for a long time.
Are you sure you didn't have a specific configuration where the prefix was
set to empty ?
Can you attach the content of /etc/wordpress/ ?
Thus you can recover your former content by changing the wordpress
configuration in /etc/wordpress/
to ''.
Cheers,
