I would try sudo apt-get install mysql-client, mysql-server, mysql-server-core and check that the list of packages it says it will upgrade is what you want. That *should* do waht you want. (If not, say 'n' :) Depending on your reasoning for not wanting to upgrade the other packages, you also may want to pin the existing versions of those packages. (I don't keep systems around long enough to know how to really do that without looking it up every time) -serge -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
