Thanks Mike and Sebastian,

I merged this patch which IMO fixes this problem:

Hi there,

As an offshoot of mysql/phpmyadmin bug #1436171

If permissions change away from mysql.mysql on any database directory under /var/lib/mysql (to, say, root.root),

and phpmyadmin detects mysql version > 5.whatever (i.e., phpmyadmin tries to utilize information_schema),

then phpmyadmin reports No database tables found, despite there obviously being, say, dozens of databases, and hundreds of tables.

So the one permissions error on one database's directory screws up every database as far as phpmyadmin is concerned.

Thought you should know.

Best regards from outside washington, dc Michael
