Koha 2.2.7, Debian etch and mysql-server-5.0 question
Koha 2.2.7, Debian etch and mysql-server-5.0 question: Due to the known incompability of mysql-server-5.0, I have decided today to downgrade from mysql-server-5.0 to mysql-server-4.1, and than to try re-install Koha 2.2.7. but when I'm doing this: $sudo apt-get install mysql-server-4.1 I'm informed that: =========================================================================== The following extra packages will be installed: libdbd-mysql-perl libmysqlclient15off mysql-client-5.0 mysql-common mysql-server-5.0 The following NEW packages will be installed libdbd-mysql-perl libmysqlclient15off mysql-client-5.0 mysql-common mysql-server-4.1 mysql-server-5.0 0 upgraded, 6 newly installed, 0 to remove and 156 not upgraded. Need to get 34.1MB of archives. After unpacking 88.7MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? =========================================================================== So ... is it MySQL 4.1 or not? is it suitable for Koha, or not?

Hi Oren, I haven't confirmed this for myself, but I believe Etch has taken out support for MySQL 4.1. At LibLime, we're still running Sarge, though we've talked about upgrading to Etch soon. I think the best way to proceed would be to either: * re-install with sarge (probably easiest) * play around with backports.org, apt pinning (with the stable sources), or installing from source...

I am working on an install of Debian Etch + Xen + Koha. I am no debian expert, but have installed MySQL many times. If MySql 5.0 is all that is available on Etch, my inclination is to eschew apt for MySQL and manually install MySQL 4.0. After all, there will be no need to updgrade MySQL 4.0 ... it is static. Any reason not to do this? cheers rickw -- _________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services Something is wrong. This is something. Therefore this is wrong. - Politician's Syllogism
On Ubuntu (a Debian spin-off) MySQL 4 it's a virtual package that installs MySQL 5. To fix this, you got to select a repository that offers you MySQL 4. Rick Welykochy <rick@praxis.com.au> escribió: Joshua Ferraro wrote:

There is a package called mysql-server-4.1 in etch. However, it is empty, and depends on mysql-server-5.0 It is an transitional package, an aid to a smooth upgrade from a sarge system. It ensures that if a sarge system with mysql-server-4.1 installed is upgraded, it will end up with mysql5. The side effect is that if you type apt-get install mysql-server-4.1 on an etch system, you will in fact get mysql5. Alex oren maurer wrote:
