While it's correct, that the packages are currently uninstallable, it is not a bug :-) MySQL-5.0 has been uploaded to unstable at the same time and provide a "mysql-common" package with version 5.0.x. It just has to be approved by the FTP maintainers. We decided to just have one "mysql-common" package without version number in the name which will always be provided by the newest MySQL version (hopefully 4.1 will be superceded by 5.0 before Etch is released). bye, -christian-
