Package: mysql-server, mysql-server-4.1

apt-get remove mysql-server
apt-get install mysql-server-4.1
dpkg --purge mysql-server
***boom***


Depending on your answer to "postrm_remove_databases", this
has deleted all your data or "only" destroyed your MySQL
installation.


BTW1: The same can happen to mysql-server-4.1 if the user had
      removed but not purged mysql-server from woody some years
      ago and purges it now.

BTW2: This is a nice example for the class of data loss bugs
      testing cannot catch because it might take some time
      until the first usre falls into this trap.
