The recent MySQL package depends on libmysqlclient6. Your DBI seems to be
quite old and from the slink distribution.
Since the former mysql maintainer did not seperate the library to an
extra package you now only have two choices:
a) downgrade mysql to the one that's shipped with slink (3.20.23 I think)
b) upgrade Perl DBI. You can use the most recent one thats available on
CPAN or as Debian Package. If you use the Debian package you should
get the source and compile it yourself since you have an older perl
version than me. You probably have to kill the depends out of the
debian/control file, too, to get dpkg to install it.
Mail me if you have further problems.
bye,
-christian- / MySQL and PerlDBI maintainer.
P.S.: I will harden the depends on a more recent Perl-DBI in my MySQL package
to prevent such failures from now on. So thanks for making this
problem public :-)
