which package of mySQL for Debian 3.1 (Sarge)

[dbyy]

Hi ,

Here is a ‘newbie’ question

I would like to upgrade mySQL on my DEBIAN (i386) box to the latest version but I’m not sure which package I should download and install to replace the current one.

- Linux (x86, glibc-2.2, "standard" is static, gcc)
- Linux (x86)
- Linux x86 generic RPM (statically linked against glibc 2.2.5) downloads
- Linux x86 generic RPM (dynamically linked)
-

And how can I reun-install the old version of mySQL (4.0.x)?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Fred

Do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade to install the current packages for the branch of Debian that you are using.

That question doesn't make sense.

Thanks Harold,

I see, no un-install when doing the update/upgrade

Thx

apt-get install package-name will either install a package or, if an older version of a package is installed, replace that version with the current version. You un-install packages with the command apt-get remove package-name.

Yes, to make it clear: you do not need the packages from the MySQL website, you get them from Debian directly. You can search at http://packages.debian.org for the right package name.
