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.
