Inserting unset TMPDIR before line 286 fixed the issue for me. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rcmysql restart 2. rcmysql restart Actual Results: First start fails, second start works. Expected Results: Both starts work. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
