That line in the script reads:
echo -e "# created by
debconf\n[mysqld]\nold_passwords = $RET" >
/etc/mysql/conf.d/old_passwords.cnf
This does not seem to require that old_passwords.cnf exists
beforehand.
Is there still enough space on all the relevant partitions,
Yes, free space doesn't seem to be a problem, there's plenty of it.
does the
/etc/mysql/conf.d/ directory exist?
The "/etc/mysql" directory no longer exists, so no. As I remember the first time I tried to purge mysql the "/etc/mysql" directory wasn't purged as it had some files in it, so I removed it manually, I wanted a new, fresh, clean installation. That, perhaps, was the beginning of my downfall.
Can you do this:
touch /etc/mysql/conf.d/old_passwords.cnf
Nope, see above.
Basically I want a new, fresh, clean mysql installation. I want the old installation gone, completely, and that's why I used "purge" instead of "remove".
Thanks
