Package: mysql-server-5.0
Version: 5.0_5.0.18-7
Severity: Critical
I am trying to upgrade from mysql-server4.1 to mysql-server5.0 however
every time I tried it I have come up to a brick wall, now I find out that
the pre-install is checking for previous versions, it refused to install
with mysql-server-4.1 so I uninstalled it and now I find it is complaining
that no other version of the software is installed.
Can someone please explain why this package is so hard to install and what
us end users are supposed to do, I have marked this as critical because
the only option I have is to re-install version 4.1 which also does not
fix the mess this leaves apt-get in.
