I talk about the upgrade from *sarge* to etch! The bug report was against the etch version of mysql and the release notes do not demand a kernel upgrade to 2.6 before even starting the dist-upgrade from sarge to etch. Chapter 4.1.5 just says that kernel 2.4.1 is required before upgrading. Etch to lenny is of course no problem. So depending on what I further find out, I propose a upload to 4.0r1 and/or a note in the release notes for mysql. bye, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
