Hi,

There's absolutely no reason why this bug is still open, with comments
from users. This has been fixed a long time ago in Debian, and should be
also in Ubuntu. Perhaps this is just affecting users of Ubuntu 10.04, in
which case I would advise to upgrade to the latest version of
automysqlbackup from Debian SID (it will also work with any version of
Ubuntu normally).

For the above reasons, I'm asking for the closing of this bug.

Thomas

Title:
  mysqldump: Got error: 1142: SELECT,LOCK TABL command denied to user
  'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' for table 'cond_instances' when using
  LOCK TABLES

Status in “automysqlbackup” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Release:	12.04
  automysqlbackup:
    Installed: 2.6+debian-2
    Candidate: 2.6+debian-2
    Version table:
   *** 2.6+debian-2 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/universe amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


  
  After a remove --purge, reinstall of automysqlbackup, and configure in /etc/defaults/automysqlbackup, I am emailed the following error when cron runs /usr/sbin/automysqlbackup:

  mysqldump: Got error: 1142: SELECT,LOCK TABL command denied to user
  'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' for table 'cond_instances' when using
  LOCK TABLES

  it seems that the default on ubuntu is to use the user debian-sys-
  maint to run this backup, however debian-sys-maint doesn't have full
  permissions.  Some say that these tables are not necessary to backup
  and recommend the flag " --skip-add-locks" OR "--skip-lock-tables":

  http://serverfault.com/questions/268566/cant-backup-the-mysql-table-
  with-mysqldump-select-lock-tabl-command-denied-for

  I managed to get the error to go away by adding "--skip-lock-tables"
  to /usr/sbin/automysqlbackup:


          if [ -z "${USERNAME}" -o -z "${PASSWORD}" ] ; then
                  mysqldump --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf $NEWOP\
  T --skip-lock-tables $1 > $2
          else
                  mysqldump --user=$USERNAME --password=$PASSWORD --host\
  =$DBHOST --skip-lock-tables $NEWOPT $1 > $2
          fi
          return 0
