No no, misunderstood -- that was not how I upgraded. That was what I did AFTER the upgrade. What I first did was just like what you said: > The right way is to change lenny > squeeze in your /etc/apt/sources.list > run 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get dist-upgrade' and here you will get > the right "mysql-server". Except I don't think I got the right mysql-server when that happened! I did "apt-get update" and "apt-get dist-upgrade" (following the upgrade HOWTO to to the letter), and I upgraded the kernel and udev, and everything else. Only THEN did I do "apt-get update" followed by "apt-get upgrade"; isn't that what you do when there's a new release of some program? I am of the understanding (possibly wrong!) that when a package in squeeze is updated, when I run "apt-get update" (with my sources pointing to squeeze and the squeeze security updates) that my apt will know about it ... and then "apt-get upgrade" will upgrade all available packages on my already-upgraded-to-squeeze system. Is that how it works? Well anyway what I had to do was run "apt-get install mysql-server" and only then did it get the latest 5.1. Now this bothers me. I wonder, what else on my system is old or not the latest? How can I tell?

Oh no! # invoke-rc.d syslogd restart invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/syslogd not found. # dpkg -l|grep syslog # However, /var/log/syslog is writing just fine! What does this mean?
