Description:
mysql_upgrade reads the [client] option group, but
doesn't understand certain common options that people
place in that group, such as "host".

How to repeat:
Put a host=host_name option in your [client] group,
then run mysql_upgrade:

% bin/mysql_upgrade
bin/mysql_upgrade: unknown variable 'host=localhost'

Note that you can't even run mysql_upgrade --help under
these conditions unless you remember to use --no-defaults.

Suggested fix:
Change mysql_upgrade not to read the [client] group.
The [mysql_upgrade] group should be sufficient.

Thank you for the bug report.

A patch for this bug has been committed. After review, it may
be pushed to the relevant source trees for release in the next
version. You can access the patch from:

Patch looks good to me.

Patch looks ok to me

Fixed in 5.0.25

Noted in 5.0.25 changelog.

mysql_upgrade no longer reads the [client] option file group because
it is not a client and did not understand client options such as
host. Now it reads only the [mysql_upgrade] group.
