This is more or less intendet. mysql-server (4.0.x) is now obsolete. As the new branch has the package name mysql-server-4.1 (or alternatively mysql-server-5.0) I needed a way to "force" the user to upgrade to at least mysql-server-4.1. So everytime they try to upgrade mysql-server they are now, due to the dependency, forced to install mysql-server-4.1. This conflicts with mysql-server which should be no problem as this package is no longer needed. That this does not happen fully automated is also partly intended because I don't like to upgrade a database server to a new major version without telling the admin.
In my tests the upgrades worked well this way with dselect and apt-get. Did it just look "maybe not intended" to you or did it really leave you with a broken installation? bye, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
