I am updated a drupal 5 database which had actions installed on it.

I disabled all modules before starting the update and the following error was thrown:

user warning: Table 'actions' already exists query: CREATE TABLE actions ( `aid` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', `type` VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `callback` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `parameters` LONGTEXT NOT NULL, `description` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', PRIMARY KEY (aid) ) /*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET UTF8 */ in D:\or6\includes\database.inc on line 451.

Title: Existence of action table causes error » Existence of 5.x actions module table causes error

Bumping this to critical. Can't see either another issue or a mention in upgrade documention. Should be a check to see if the table exists in system_install_6030

Patch provided.

have re-organised the code so as it only creates the arrays for the schemas if the tables don't exist.

Is this still a problem in current D6?
