Description:
See also: Bug #88088

The default plugin_dir of a debug build (mysqld-debug from the rpm) points to the non-debug version of the plugins

How to repeat:
Try to use plugins with a debug build.

Suggested fix:

Please make /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/debug/ the default plugin_dir for mysqld-debug instead of /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/

Hi Daniël!

Seems like the logic for building and installing mysqld-debug and debug versions of plugins are not sane at the moment. Need to re-think how this is done.

A goal must be for mysqld-debug to work out of box, no special config for plugin dir or anything else required.

Thanks for your feedback.

Fixed in 5.5.59, 5.6.39, 5.7.21, 8.0.4, 9.0.0.

For RHEL, SLES, and Fedora RPMs, the default plugin directory for
debug builds has been changed from /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin to
/usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/debug.
