help: dependency problem

[Christian Hammers <ch@lathspell.westend.com>]

Hello List !

I can't get rid of my dependency problems. (MySQL has more conflicts than
any soap opera :-)) Maybe someone can give me a hint !

Here is the current situation:
	(src: mysql -> non-free)
	mysql		server + docs
	mysql-client	client + all libraries
	mysql-devel	header
	(src: mysql-freebits -> main)
	mysql-base	client
	mysql-doc	doc 
	mysql-dev	header + all libraries

This can't go because a shared lib on which the client depend has nothing 
to do in -dev; the structure is not clear to the user; soon there will be
two complete new upstream versions: an old GPL'ed and the recent (in
non-free). So I made a new scheme:
	(src: mysql -> non-free)
	mysql-server	
	mysql-client
	mysql-doc
	mysql-dev
	mysql-bench		(never packaged before)
	(src: mysql-gpl -> main)
	mysql-gpl-server	(released to GPL at mid-june)
	mysql-gpl-client
	mysql-gpl-doc
	mysql-gpl-dev
	mysql-gpl-bench

But... How to make the dependencies ? The current situation is that
whenever I change from the GPL'ed to the non-free I have to do a
"dpkg -i --auto-deconfigure *-gpl-*.deb"
TWICE before it really works. 

If someone is willing to help me out, I will post him every control file I
have. I do not post it to the list because this mail is already long
enough.

Thousand thanks in advance !

read you,
