I think there's something not right with the location or symlinks of mysqldump, on Debian at least.

On all my debian boxes who vary from over the past years from 6 to 7, none have mysqldump working without specifying the full path like /usr/local/mysql-5.6.21-linux-x86_64/bin/mysqldump

This is also on a fresh box I installed only yesterday.

It says here this was fixed: http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=522

But I don't think that's the case right now.

I'm posting this in CB because I think it would be something CB would have to do after upgrading mysql?

Edit:
The steps on that KB also don't fix it, but it is fixed if I change the mysqldump symlink the other way around:

ln -s /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqldump /usr/bin/mysqldump
