default configuration file is not parsed

[Google Code Exporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. install mycheckpoint debian package
2. create the following /etc/mycheckpoint.cnf file
[mycheckpoint]
smtp_host = localhost
smtp_from = [e-mail]
smtp_to = [e-mail]

[client]
host=localhost
socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
user=root
password=
port=3306

3. try to run mycheckpoint

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
# mycheckpoint   
-- ERROR: Cannot connect to database
-- ERROR: Failed sending email
(2002, "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket 
'/var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock' (2)")

If I run "mycheckpoint --defaults-file=/etc/mycheckpoint.cnf" then it will run 
correctly. 

What is the output when running with the "--verbose --debug" options?
# mycheckpoint --verbose --debug
-- Will assume /etc/mycheckpoint.cnf as defaults file

-- Make sure you have executed mycheckpoint with 'deploy' after last 
install/update.upgrade
--  If not, run again with same configuration, and add 'deploy'. e.g.:
--  mycheckpoint --host=my_host deploy
--

Looks like the socket option is not parsed correctly... The email stuff looks 
to be OK. Besides, it would be cool if the default socket would be equivalent 
to what debian uses (mysqld.sock, not mysql.sock)

What version of the mycheckpoint are you using?
mycheckpoint 132-1

What version of the MySQL are you using? (SELECT VERSION())
5.0.51a

On what operating system?
Debian Etch and Lenny


Thanks in advance

I'm sorry, I don't understand the issue.
First, is this a new bug?
Second, I don't see the problem. Can you please clarify?
