If you still get the same error (and be sure that you actually get the error about –skip-bdb), you might have to check the safe_mysqld / mysqld_safe scripts to see if they include it manually, or try to find out what location MySQL is reading it configuration files from (remember, there might be different locations for different distros and different installation methods).

Did upgrade 5.0 -> 6.0

Was getting mad finding no log entries in the normal mysql logs. How dumb not to have a look in syslog :-)

thanks

Thanks buddy! This error occurs when updating your MySQL to a backported version. Solved it completely.
