I have a problem with the package system. We use mysql compiled straight from the original source-tarball. We've also installed libdb-mysql-perl which depends on mysql-base. Because of this unmet dependency, apt refuses to do anything.
Is it possible to make dpkg think it has installed mysql-base without actually doing it? Or install it without overwriting the current mysql installation? Thanks for any guidance -- it's really no option to install mysql from a package. -- Gravity brings me down.
