Hi

i am having a mysql nightmare here. Due to some reason i had to upgrade from 4.0.24 to 4.1.16. Now after upgrading initially i was getting sock connection error. I checked the /var/run/mysqld and there was no pid file, and ps -A didn't show mysql either. So i looked up a little and found revdep rebuilding is required. So i did that and the following packages needed upgradation

Erm.. just revert the etc-update crapout of your config files, I think.
Did you fail to read the mile-high warning at the end of the mysql emerge ?

It sounds like you may have replaced/updated some of the config files but not others. I had similar trouble on one of the 2 upgrades I did. I just backed up the config files (to save my changes to them) and then re-emerged...it fixed it.
