Hi I really need to install Mysql 4 on my debian box. I am a recent convert from RedHat. I am running Debain stable packages but need some of the new funcitonality in mysql 4 in to port some of my apps properly. I was going to install from source but came accross backports and though I should try it.
I am not very familar with apt yet. Should I remove the existing mysql packages first or can do an upgrade? I have added deb http://uk.www.backports.org/debian stable mysql-dfsg to sources.list If I now run 'apt-cache search mysql' I get W: Couldn't stat source package list http://www.backports.org stable/mysql-dfsg Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/uk.www.backports.org_debian_dists_stable_mysql-dfsg_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) Does that mean I have to add lines under /var/lib/apt too? any help appreciated Cyril -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
