I have a woody server set up as a web server. I had it running php4, mysql, and apache. I tried to use the dotdeb sources to update to php5 and I ended up having problems with those php5 packages.
So I decided to go back to stables packages. I removed apache, mysql, php and removed the sources. After and apt-get update I tried to install php4, mysql-server, and apache again.
All seemed to work except for mysql which was giving me an error about user.frm. So I uninstalled mysql again and searched out and removed mysql files such as the /var/log/mysql directory, /etc/mysql, and files such as /etc/init.d/mysql.
Then I tried to resintall the mysql packages. I am not able to get mysql-server to install now and I am getting the errors listed below.

Any ideas how I can get mysql-server going? I don't get why it seems like it can't replace the /etc/init.d/mysql files and such
Thanks a ton.
