mySQL 3.23.x on potatoe

["Philip Iezzi" <debian@iezzi.ch>]

I've just tried to upgrade mysql on potato from 3.22.32 to 3.23.47-1
(from woody).
It breaks because of a whole bunch of dependencies. I'm afraid to
upgrade libc6, libncurses5, libreadlin4 and libstdc++2.10... Can I try
to upgrade them or do I risk to mess up everything? For the moment we
need to keep potato.

 mysql-client depends on libdbd-mysql-perl (>= 1.2202); however:
  Package libdbd-mysql-perl is not installed.
 mysql-client depends on perl; however:
  Package perl is not installed.
 mysql-client depends on libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4); however:
  Version of libc6 on system is 2.1.3-20.
 mysql-client depends on libmysqlclient10; however:
  Package libmysqlclient10 is not configured yet.
 mysql-client depends on libncurses5 (>= 5.2.20010310-1); however:
  Version of libncurses5 on system is 5.0-6.0potato1.
 mysql-client depends on libreadline4 (>= 4.2a); however:
  Version of libreadline4 on system is 4.1-1.
 mysql-client depends on libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 (>= 1:2.95.4-0.010810);
however:
  Package libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 is not installed.
