Hi all. This is a production server running debian testing. It's been a while and I wanted to update the system. Unfortunately it seems that some packages are BROKEN:
The following packages are BROKEN: mysql-client-5.1 php5-geoip php5-imagick php5-suhosin php5-xcache The following NEW packages will be installed: javascript-common{a} libjs-mootools{a} libreadline6{a} mysql-server-5.1{a} tcl8.5{a} wwwconfig-common{a} The following packages will be REMOVED: ghostscript{u} gs-common{u} libcupsimage2{u} libdjvulibre-text{u} libdjvulibre21{u} libgraphviz4{u} libgs8{u} liblqr-1-0{u} libmagickcore2{u} libmagickwand2{u} psfontmgr{u} The following packages will be upgraded: binutils bsd-mailx bsdutils courier-base courier-imap courier-imap-ssl courier-pop courier-pop-ssl courier-ssl cpp debconf debconf-i18n dpkg dpkg-dev dselect eject expect fakeroot file g++ gcc geoip-database lftp libbit-vector-perl libblkid1 libc-bin libc-dev-bin libc6 libc6-dev libc6-i686 libcap-ng0 libcap2 libcarp-clan-perl libdate-calc-perl libdevmapper1.02.1 libdirectfb-1.2-0 libdrm-intel1 libdrm2 libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev libgdbm3 libgeoip1 libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-data libgnutls26 libgsf-1-114 libgsf-1-common libgtk2.0-0 libgtk2.0-bin libgtk2.0-common libhtml-parser-perl libidn11 libkeyutils1 liblua5.1-0 libmagic-dev libmagic1 libmysqlclient16 libnet-snmp-perl libopenexr6 libpci3 libpcre3 libperl5.10 libpng12-0 libpng12-dev libpopt0 libselinux1 libsensors4 libsepol1 libsqlite3-0 libtimedate-perl libuuid1 libwww-perl libxml2 lm-sensors locales modconf module-init-tools mount munin-node munin-plugins-extra mysql-client mysql-client-5.0 mysql-common mysql-server mysql-server-5.0 nomarch openssh-client openssh-server openvpn os-prober pciutils perl perl-base perl-modules pflogsumm phpmyadmin procps proftpd-basic proftpd-mod-mysql python-support sed sensord smartmontools spamassassin spamc squirrelmail-viewashtml ssh traceroute tzdata ucf udev util-linux vim-scripts wget xml-core xterm The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed: uuid-runtime vim-addon-manager 120 packages upgraded, 7 newly installed, 11 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

The following packages have unmet dependencies: mysql-client-5.1: Conflicts: mysql-client-5.0 but 5.0.51a-24+lenny2 is to be installed. php5-geoip: Depends: php5-common (= 5.2.11-0.dotdeb.1) but 5.2.11.dfsg.1-1 is installed. php5-xcache: Depends: php5-common (= 5.2.11-0.dotdeb.1) but 5.2.11.dfsg.1-1 is installed. php5-imagick: Depends: libmagick10 but it is not installable Depends: php5-common (= 5.2.11-0.dotdeb.1) but 5.2.11.dfsg.1-1 is installed. php5-suhosin: Depends: php5-common (= 5.2.11-0.dotdeb.1) but 5.2.11.dfsg.1-1 is installed. The following actions will resolve these dependencies: Remove the following packages: mysql-client mysql-server php5-imagick Keep the following packages at their current version: mysql-client-5.1 [Not Installed] mysql-server-5.1 [Not Installed] php5-geoip [1.0.7-1 (testing, now)] php5-suhosin [0.9.29-1 (testing, now)] php5-xcache [1.3.0-1 (testing, now)] Score is 425 If I try manually to install "mysql-server-5.1" this is what aptitude suggests: The following packages are BROKEN: mysql-client mysql-client-5.1 mysql-server-5.0 mysql-server-5.1 The following packages will be REMOVED: mysql-client-5.0{a} The following packages will be upgraded: libmysqlclient16 mysql-common 2 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 1 to remove and 119 not upgraded.

The following actions will resolve these dependencies: Remove the following packages: mysql-server-5.0 Upgrade the following packages: mysql-client [5.0.51a-24+lenny1 (now) -> 5.1.40-0.dotdeb.1 (<NULL>)] mysql-server [5.0.51a-24+lenny1 (now) -> 5.1.40-0.dotdeb.1 (<NULL>)] Score is 259 The db server is way too important to risk losing data and even though I have a backup it would be a real pain in the ass to restore it. What I wanted to know is if aptitude, when removing "mysql-server-5.0", keeps the data files and makes them available in v5.1.
