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

[Luis M. Gallardo D.]

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.

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
