Thanks Michael, I have all of your packages at the same versions you
have except  mysql-server-5.1. Aptitude can not install it because of

wtopa@dj:~$ bugs mysql-server-5.1
Reading package fields... Done
Reading package status... Done
Retrieving bug reports... Done
Parsing Found/Fixed information... Done
serious bugs of mysql-server-5.1 (-> ) <unfixed>
 #609537 - /etc/init.d/mysql stop leaves a process but exits with 0 status
Summary:
 mysql-server-5.1(1 bug)

NOTE; bugs is an alias for apt-listbugs

The odd thing about the bug is that there is NO
/etc/init.d/mysql and the bugs exists on all 3 partitions.
( Squeeze, Wheezy and Sid) and has been there since April.

I think I will purge the Mysql packages & start from scratch.

Thanks for the reply and help, Michael
