Re: [SECURITY] [DLA 359-1] MySQL 5.5 packages added; end of support for MySQL 5.1



Hi,

thanks again for your work on this update! As you know I've witnessed how it 
was prepared, yet I'm confused. I'll tell you why/how…

sounds great! yet cron-apt send the following via mail:

Now I'm confused :) The mysql-client and mysql-server shall be upgraded too? 
And to version 5.5.46 no less? They werent mentioned in DLA 359-1?!?

AIUI, they are also not included in DLA 359-1, so why are there new versions 
available? Are those really 5.5 versions? And if not, why did you bump the 
versions from 5.1.x to 5.5.x?


cheers,
	Holger, asking for a customer here…
