I've installed mysql-server with mysql-gpn-client and it seems to work fine.
However, dselect says that I need mysql-client for mysql-server: mysql-server depends on mysql-client (>= 3.22.27a) mysql-client does not appear to be available and insists on removing the server package even after I changed its state to 'hold'. How should I convince dselect that I already installed the required package (which I guess is mysql-gpn-client) ? TIA, abe -- "Disciplined self-indulgence."
