+Subject: [PATCH] deb#749592 mysql-connector doesn't work with remote
+ connections
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+and also
+fdo#77584 mysql-connector doesn't work over SSH tunnel
+
+Not sure exactly how this got broken, I suspect that the UI code
+has started unconditionally passing down the properties, just filling
+them with empty spaces for the unused ones.
+
+Anyhow, this appears to fix the problem.
