Hi, I tried to uprade a dev server to etch today. The upgrade erred out on mysql upgrades. I'm told I might want to run 'apt-get -f install'. I've played with the force option before with bad results. Why are the libs that mysql depends on not upgraded first? Would it be a better idea to uninstall mysql, do the upgrade, then install the latest mysql? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
