$ dpkg -S /etc/cron.daily/mysql-server mysql-server: /etc/cron.daily/mysql-server $ aptitude show mysql-server Unable to find an archive "sarge" for the package "mysql-server" Package: mysql-server State: installed Automatically installed: no Version: 5.0.24-3 Priority: optional Section: misc Maintainer: Christian Hammers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Uncompressed Size: 69.6k Depends: mysql-server-5.0 Provided by: mysql-server-5.0, mysql-server-4.1 [...] It looks like the non-virtual mysql-server is in testing, but so is the mysql-server-5.0 which provides the virtual package. Apparently, my pin file and sources.list are not in sync, because the system is a stable/testing hybrid (instead of testing/unstable, as the pin information may have indicated). Would you suggest enabling unstable as well, then upgrading mysql-server-5.0, and removing the dummy package if it doesn't get removed automatically? thanks, -- Charles Lepple
