Replication fails on slave (missing relay log)

[Armand Krijgsman]

Hi All,
After brainstorming and trying for a day now I need to request for a solution here. After a software update on my debian etch system, mysql needed a restart. When I wanted to restart the slave I however get the following error:

#29 - File '/var/log/mysql/relay.001427' not found (Errcode: 2)

When I look into my mysql log directory I índeed do not have this file.
Is there any way to clean this up and start a fresh replication from the data on the master?
