no mysql-server-5.1-dbgsym for -updates repositories

[goraxe]

The server debug package will not install on an up to date lucid install.

the most recent dbgsym package at ddebs.ubuntu.com is
Version: 5.1.41-3ubuntu12

The most recent mysql server package is
from updates : 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.10
from security: 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.7
from main: 5.1.41-3ubuntu12

Do only main uploads generate debug packages? Or should security and update packages also generate debug packages?

Installed version is 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.10
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS

Hi goraxe, actually 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.7 from lucid-security is on ddebs.ubuntu.com. I'm not certain though of how those are built or whether or not -updates should be there (I would assume yes it should be).

Assigning to pitti as he is the expert on dbgsym.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

The ddeb archive is rather brittle, as it's not integrated in Launchpad, but a horrible hack on the buildds. It seems the 12.10 ddebs are just lost, so the only way to get them back is to do another upload of mysql to lucid-proposed.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Updated title, -security ddebs are fine: http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/dists/lucid-security/main/binary-i386/Packages

[Clint Byrum (clint-fewbar)]

Ok, so this will be fixed if and when mysql is uploaded again to lucid-updates or lucid-security.

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

lucid has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the lucid task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".

[Robie Basak (racb)]

I presume this is fixed with the current MySQL 5.5 and 5.6 packages in >= Trusty? Marking this bug closed accordingly. If it is still a problem then please do reopen.

[Robie Basak (racb)]

As 5.1 doesn't exist, I don't know if Invalid, Won't Fix or Fix Released is appropriate. I don't suppose it really matters - just reopen for attention again if there's still a problem.
