Artur: First of all the 1.3.4 package version you have installed is NOT
in the th tree, you must have compiled that yourself. It is still marked
with a 0.x release number. If you want a working system you should do
something like `poldek -n th --upgrade mawk --downgrade` to get the
latest stable version in the th tree even though that will be a step
down version from your currently installed one.

I have compiled and confirmed the same problem. For others reference
here is a relevant line from an strace of the service restart command:

    [pid 22234] execve("/bin/awk", ["awk", "-F=", "\n\t{\n\t\t#
undos\n\t\tgsub(/\\r$/, \"\");"..., "/var/lib/mysql/mysqld.conf"], [/* 7
vars */]) =0

Bug description:
  [root at pld-laptop ~]# service mysql restart
Error: datadir specified in /var/lib/mysql/mysqld.conf should be
/var/lib/mysql/mysqldb/db MySQL can't be run.

[root at pld-laptop ~]# grep -v "^#" /etc/mysql/clusters.conf

mysqld.conf=/var/lib/mysql


[root at pld-laptop ~]# rpm -qv mysql
mysql-5.1.52-1.i686

[root at pld-laptop ~]# rpm -qv mawk
mawk-1.3.4-0.20100625.1.i686


mawk build on carme, but some time ago there were in th-foo (I don't
know, in which th-*), and --upgrade-dist didn't "downgrade" mawk.
