[Koha] Koha 2.2.7, Debian etch and mysql-server-5.0 question

[Joshua Ferraro]

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...

Cheers,
