Nothing wrong, woody just became 'unstable'... again ;) I'm sure it will be fixed shortly, but if you can't wait you might want to try following, at least it works for me. No guarantees, use at your own risk, yadayadayada, etc... I assume you're using libdbd-mysql-perl package, if not, ignore the rest of this message. You'll need the tools for building debian packages for this to succeed. 1. Download libdbd-mysql-perl source package "apt-get source libdbd-mysql-perl" 2. cd libdbd-mysql-perl-1.2214 3. Edit lib/DBD/Install.pm, modify the line $sysliblist = "-L$lilbdir -lmysqlclient"; to $sysliblist = "-L$lilbdir -lmysqlclient -lz"; 4. Run dch -i so that apt-get will not replace your modified package until a decent fix appears on debian mirrors. Type something like "Recompile." as the log message, if you wish. 5. Build package with "debuild -us -uc" 6. Install the package "dpkg --install ../libdbd-mysql-perl_1.2214-2_*.deb" 7. Hope it works and send me $0.02 to compensate this mail =) -- Tommi Komulainen Tommi.Komulainen@iki.fi
