  When you say that it isn't "broken", could you please elaborate?    And thanks in advance, because, from where I'm sitting, time is money    and I know that it takes time to answers these emails.

Do I understand that you think that this problem comes from the way that the ubuntu development team built mysql?

I find this very strange, considering that I have installed mysql on on ubuntu before without this problem. What I did do different on this install was copy some (but not all) directly to /var/lib/mysql/(database_name). I'm also very nervous about mixing the install of of binaries with a fairly succesful update schema - that is - the debian based package management system.
