Debian testing "libdbd-mysql-perl" problem.

[emgee]

Hello,

in Debian Testing I cannot install mysql-server since two weeks after a system dist-upgrade. The upgrade purged libmysqlclient15 and replaced it by libmysqlclient15off. Unfortunately, mysql-server-5.0 depends on mysql-client-5.0, and this depends on libdbd-mysql-perl (and this needs the no more available package libmysqlclient15 )

Is there anything I can do instaed of waiting more weeks? MySQL Database would be a great thing for me ...

Thanks for any help,

Emgee

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.

What about apt-get install libdbd-mysql-perl libmysqlclient15 ?

Hello,

What about apt-get install libdbd-mysql-perl libmysqlclient15 ?

Well, thats not possible, because libmysqlclient15 isn't there anymore. However, I also tried to download the old (named) version, installed it and tried to install mysql-server. Unfortunately, libmysqlclient15 conflicts with libmysqlclient15 off (BOTH are needed from mysql-server in etch)

I filled a bug report against the package libdbd-mysql-perl and the maintainer wrote:

> Please use the officiel Debian mirrors now and not the old amd64 specific one.

It looks like I am doing something wrong. I tried the following ones:

http://amd64.debian.net/debian-amd64/
http://debian.csail.mit.edu/debian-amd64/debian/
http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/debian-amd64/
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-amd64/debian
http://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/debian-a ... bian-amd64

But all of them seems to be old ones...
Where can I find new official mirrors?

Thanks for any help ...

Um,

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main

Because amd64 is now official.

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main

Well, thats it.
http://ftp.debian.org/debian-amd64 contains the dependency problem,
http://ftp.debian.org/debian does not.

Dooh.

Thanks,

Emgee.
