    All,

    Does anyone know what package provides the mysql_secure_installation
    script on Debian 13 Trixie?

    google debian mysql_secure_installation shows me as the first hit https://manpages.debian.org/testing/mariadb-client/mysql_secure_installation.1 and that says 'from mariadb-client'

    Thanks the script was actually provided by the mariadb-client-compat
    package.

    You could also have used the search feature on packages.debian.org.
    Filling in the fields gives me this URL <https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=mysql_secure_installation&mode=exactfilename&suite=testing&arch=any>
    which brings you directly to the desired package.

    If you're actually RUNNING trixie, then you could also use apt-file.

    Yes.

    Oh, you actually wanted to know which package in trixie provides mysql_secure_installation. Well:

    root@tiassa:~# apt-file search mysql_secure_installation
    mariadb-client-compat: /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation mariadb-client-compat: /usr/share/man/man1/mysql_secure_installation.1.gz root@tiassa:~# cat /etc/debian_version
    13.0
    root@tiassa:~#

    Does anybody read signatures any more?
