MySQL version appears to be inconsistent? I have recently upgraded mysqld (percona server) from 5.5.60-38.12 to 5.5.62-38.14. This is on Debian, and the upgrade was done like this:

# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade


I am surprised to find that the version is reported differently internally from what I get on the command line:

db3 root = mysql -V
mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.62-38.14, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.1
mysql&gt; select version();
+------------------+
| version()        |
+------------------+
| 5.5.60-38.12-log |
+------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)


Is this normal? Or do I need to do something to fix this issue?

Edit: I've allso checked the installed packages:

db3 root = dpkg -l | grep percona

Answering my own question, in case other might benefit.

The explanation, it turns out, was that although the upgrade succeeded, the restart of the daemon had failed silently. It took a kill -9 and systemctl start mysql to sort that out.
