Bug#539370: automysqlbackup: Unable to backup databases with names containing hyphens since MySQL 5.1

Package: automysqlbackup
Version: 2.5-3
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss


Since the upgrade of mysql-server (and client) to 5.1, mysql rewrites the 
directory of existing databases
with names containing hyphens with special characters, in this case "@002".
As the /etc/default/automysqlbackup script detects all databases using `find`, 
this breaks the backup
process of theses specific databases.
I am unsure whether other characters are affected.

In my opinion, the list of databases should be retrieved using the client and 
SHOW DATABASES, this
won't break any name rewriting issues.

Regards,
Michael
