I am by no means an expert
but I did not uninstall mySQL, just added the following to /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://mirror2.hs-esslingen.de/mariadb/repo/5.5/debian wheezy main deb-src http://mirror2.hs-esslingen.de/mariadb/repo/5.5/debian wheezy main (I run Wheezy in production now, there are several mirrors to pick from) Then aptitude update;aptitude safe-upgrade -y and so on and then aptitude install mariadb-server-5.5 and after that aptitude install libmariadbclient-dev That pretty much took care of things, the applications should not really notice the switch. I am still investigating one minor issue after the change, probably unrelated, but otherwise everything is running as before (or faster) Hope this is any good to you. Suppose there is no official package for sid so you're out in the wild although the Debian 'testing' packages usually work. Karl-L.
