Thanks for the reply! After a hell of a ride with dselect, I finally have the following situation: In short, I still want to install mysql-server. Through a chain of dependencies that end up in perlapi-5.6.1, this is not possible. I've realized that I have installed (somehow) perl5.8.0.
I've got to admit: I'm a newbie to Debian. But it takes a lot at the beginning, I guess... Thanks in advance, Holger Here's the dependency chain: bls:~# apt-get install mysql-server ... mysql-server: Depends: mysql-client (>= 3.23.52-2) but it is not going to be installed bls:~# apt-get install mysql-client ... mysql-client: Depends: libdbd-mysql-perl (>= 1.2202) but it is not going to be installed bls:~# apt-get install libdbd-mysql-perl ... libdbd-mysql-perl: Depends: perlapi-5.6.1 bls:~# apt-get install perlapi-5.6.1 Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Note, selecting perl-base instead of perlapi-5.6.1 Sorry, perl-base is already the newest version. 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.

Install the version from unstable. You're clearly running unstable since you have perl 5.8.0, so you have to do so properly. :-) Cheers, -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] ____________ Virus checked by G DATA AntiVirusKit Virus news: www.antiviruslab.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
