Yes, this is still true :(

The Debian Stretch package has not been updated with whatever bug fix comes 
from building kannel yourself from source.

It makes me wonder slightly how the Debian package got built...

But anyway, if you want kannel working with MySQL, don't start from the Debian 
Stretch package.

I do notice that there's a packaged version of kannel 1.4.5 in the new (since 
6th July) Debian Stable (version 10, Buster), but I don't have the facility to 
try that out yet - trying to install that package into Stretch involves too 
many incompatibilities, and I can't upgrade the entire machine to Buster 
because that would also upgrade my Asterisk 13 to Asterisk 16, which I'm not 
ready for yet.


If I do find any reasonable way of getting kannel to work with MySQL storage 
under Debian Stretch, I'll reply again here to let people know how.


In the meantime I hope someone can point me at the final bit of my delivery 
reports problem - how do I tell kannel to send a DLR status=1 to notify a 
sender that their message has been delivered?


Thanks,


Antony.
