Description:
There are two shell scripts around mysql-administrator and mysql-query-browser which processes '--update-paths' argument. When it is not necessary to check for this argument ($bundled_deps = 0), arguments are not passed to the binary program.

How to repeat:
[ -f $LIBPREFIX/lib/pango.modules ] && mv $LIBPREFIX/lib/pango.modules $LIBPREFIX/lib/pango.modules.bak
mysql-administrator --help
mysql-query-browser --help
[ -f $LIBPREFIX/lib/pango.modules.bak ] && mv $LIBPREFIX/lib/pango.modules.bak $LIBPREFIX/lib/pango.modules

Suggested fix:
Adding else branch to the relevant if so arguments will be passed.
