There are a large number of pkgs still depending on mysql14 (or even older ..) Whenever any one of those has to be rebuilt (upgraded), mysql(-ssl) gets swapped out, so to restore the installation, one needs to "rm -fR %p/var/ mysql" before reinstalling the pkg. This is completely wrong. Users should not have to wonder whether or not they can safely ignore error msgs, _ and should not even be confronted with error msgs in such situations purely caused by fink itself.
