Package: mysql-server-5.0 Version: 5.0.18-7 Followup-For: Bug #349258 I was getting the same behavior when trying to upgrade from mysql-server-4.1 to mysql-server-5.0. I ultimately tracked it down to the fact that I had some old ISAM tables, which mySQL 5 doesn't support. They have to be upgraded to MyISAM tables. To do this, find your unconverted tables with:
find /var/lib/mysql -name "*.ISM" Once you know the databases and tables to convert, run the mysql client, go to each affected database with "use somedatabasename" and convert each ISAM table with: ALTER TABLE table_name ENGINE = MyISAM; Once I did this for all of my old tables, mysql-server-5.0 installed without complaints. Hope this helps. - Joe -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages mysql-server-5.0 depends on: ii adduser 3.80 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.68 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.5-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdbi-perl 1.50-1 Perl5 database interface by Tim Bu ii libgcc1 1:4.0.2-7 GCC support library ii libmysqlclient15 5.0.18-7 mysql database client library ii libncurses5 5.5-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline5 5.1-5 GNU readline and history libraries ii libstdc++6 4.0.2-7 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-8 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii mysql-client-5.0 5.0.18-7 mysql database client binaries ii mysql-common 5.0.18-7 mysql database common files (e.g. ii passwd 1:4.0.14-3 change and administer password and ii perl 5.8.7-10 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii psmisc 22.1-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-9 compression library - runtime Versions of packages mysql-server-5.0 recommends: ii mailx 1:8.1.2-0.20050715cvs-1 A simple mail user agent -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
