The 4.1 packages appear to be broken as the command
apt-get install mysql-server-4.1 mysql-client-4.1 mysql-common-4.1

Fails with

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

I upgraded from mysql 4.0 to 4.1 a while back, without any issues. Try
doing apt-get update and then install mysql. There is also a switch to
apt-get to install with all the dependencies. I don't remember now, but
you would be able to find out from manpages.

Hope this helps.
