Apparently, I'm supposed to be some sort of expert at fixing FreeBSD ports. About two weeks ago, I reported that the databases/mysql41-server port that had just been updated to MySQL 4.1.4 was broken on FreeBSD 4.10 in Problem Report ports/71352, and I didn't include a patch because I hadn't come up with one. Since then, I have received emails from at least four random people asking if I had found a solution. If I had found a solution to this, you would think that I would have submitted it as a follow up to the bug report, but I guess some people don't.

As you probably inferred from the title of this entry (if you didn't I don't know what to tell you), I don't really care for MySQL anyway, but I am using it because of reasons stated in If You Can Read This You Don't Need Glasses. And you are reading this because, the previous version MySQL 4.1.3 is still installed.
