Okay, I've now got slimserver running again. Here's how I did it: Search snapshot.debian.net for libmysqlclient15off. This returns the following two lines under mysql-dfsg-5.0.
deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool mysql-dfsg-5.0 deb-src http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool mysql-dfsg-5.0 Add these two /etc/apt/sources.list (you probably don't need the deb-src line). Run apt-get update (don't worry about the IGN lines that appear for snapshot.debian.net). Now install the non-broken version with the following command: apt-get install libmysqlclient15off=5.0.22-4 This will remove mysql as it depends on the later version of libmysqlclient15off. For me this isn't a problem. However, if you need mysql, I daresay you could work out the previous version of mysql that is happy with the older version of libmysqlclient15off and then install that from snapshot.debian.net as well. I haven't pinned the version of libmysqlclient15off to this older version, so careless use of apt-get update will break things again! I'm hoping that it won't take long for testing to get the fixed version, which is 5.0.24-2.
