Hi, I tried to uprade a dev server to etch today. The upgrade erred out on mysql upgrades. I'm told I might want to run 'apt-get -f install'. I've played with the force option before with bad results. Why are the libs that mysql depends on not upgraded first? Would it be a better idea to uninstall mysql, do the upgrade, then install the latest mysql? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Since no one else seems to be saying it, I'll just mention here that apt-get's -f option does not mean "force". It means "fix". See the manpage for more details. -- Kushal
