Since apt-get will _not_, contrary to the previous comments on this
bug, install mysql-server-4.1 (it insists on choosing the newer 5.0),
this bug can be a serious problem.
The following ugly hack may help rescue some people:
Copy the directory containing the offending database
(e.g. /var/lib/mysql/oldtabletypedb) into /var/lib/mysql on another
host which is running an older version of mysql.
Set ownership and permissions on the copied database appropriately.
On the other host, start the client:
mysql oldtabletypedb
For each table in the database, do this command to convert the
ISAM format to MyISAM:
alter table <tableneedingrepair> type=myisam;
Exit the client.
Copy the directory back to the original host.
Fix up ownership and permissions on the original host.
Complete the 5.0 upgrade.
