Hello people. I'm trying to install mysql server 5.1 (or newer) in a debian server.

The problem is that "apt-get install mysql-server" try to install mysql-server-5.0.

I've updated the packages, but that package remains.

If I try to issue "apt-get install mysql-server-5.1" it says that other packages are in confict.

How can i update it?

Thanks!

What version Debian are you using? Have you enabled any backports repositories?

The packages mysql-server-5.1 conflicts with are probably all mysql-server-5.0 related, which only makes sense. But you didn't post the messages you received so I can't really say.

Thanks for your answer AlucardZero!

Debian Version: 5.0.8

This is what happens when try to install mysql-server-5.1 (translation aside)


Los siguientes paquetes tienen dependencias incumplidas: (These packages has dependency unaccomplished)
mysql-server-5.1: Depende (depends on: mysql-client-5.1 (>= 5.1.49-3~bpo50+1) pero no va a instalarse
Depende: libmysqlclient16 (>= 5.1.21-1) pero no va a instalarse
PreDepende: mysql-common (>= 5.1.49-3~bpo50+1) pero 5.0.51a-24+lenny5 va a ser instalado
E: Paquetes rotos (broken packages)

I just did it.

Added dotdeb package at /etc/apt/sources.list:

Try using Lenny backports before using packages from dotdeb.
